Description
Vivid, Layered and Balanced
“Dense but supple, the texture of the 2011 Russian River displays the sort of fine, mature tannins that are only possible in years with extensive hang time. The nose is rich with top notes of black licorice and cola while on the palate, juicy blackberry and pie cherry are layered with cocoa and hints of molasses. The overall impression is of balance between the fresh dark fruit elements and the almost sweet spicy influences.”-Elizabeth Grant-Douglas, Winemaker
