Country: US / Quail Hill Vineyard Bliss Blend
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Lynmar / Russian River Valley
An enormous Pinot Noir that’s rich and ripe in cherries, red currants, licorice, cola and sweet toasty oak, and thoroughly dry on the finish. There’s no doubting its layers of complexity, although it’s a little warm with alcohol. Could be an ager. Try after 2016.
