Woodenhead 2010 Ritchie Vineyard Cinder Cone Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Ritchie Vineyard Cinder Cone
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Woodenhead / Russian River Valley

Lots of acidity gives the cherry and raspberry flavors a sour candy tartness that makes the mouth water. The mouthfeel is light and silky, as you want in a Pinot Noir. It’s a fine wine to drink now, with a good decanting, but try cellaring it for 5–6 years to see what kinds of earthy, mushroomy complexities emerge.
