2018 Rural Pinot Noir Eagle Peak AVA, Mendocino, California

We fell in love with this tasty West Coast Pinot Noir at first sip. The medium garnet color leads to a palate brimming with juicy cherry, raspberry, and strawberry. Subtle hints of violet, tea, and forest floor let you know this is classic Pinot Noir! There’s a nice dollop of richness in the middle palate that balances the silky tannins, and an ample beam of freshness and acidity keeps the lengthy finish super-clean.
