Country: US / Freestone Hill Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: J Vineyards & Winery / Russian River Valley
This is a big, concentrated and rather Burgundian Pinot Noir. It shows powerful flavors of cherry pie, cola, rhubarbs, pomegranates and dried herbs, with an earthy, mushroomy complexity. Feels young and tannic and thick in wood sap, yet its future is hard to predict.
