Gary Farrell 2012 Stiling Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Stiling Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Gary Farrell / Russian River Valley

Aromas of baked sour cherry tart precede pleasing wafts of violet and lavender. From a vineyard planted largely to a field selection of the Swan clone, it offers an expected earthiness and spiciness that intrigues around a core of balanced tension between fruit, acid and oak.
