Lynmar 2012 Five Sisters Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Five Sisters
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Lynmar / Russian River Valley

The winery’s high-end cuvée, this is a five-barrel blend, three of the barrels new. Dancing in cardamom and dark cherry, the background ripe and toasty, the flavors are exotic and long lingering. There’s a tension and intensity to this wine that bests speaks to aging, or a full decant; either way, it’ll be delicious.
