Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyards Pinot Noir Woodford Reserve Barrel Finish Russian River Valley 2018 750 ML

This wine has a beautiful, rich ruby-purple hue. As a classic Russian River Pinot Noir, the wine expresses aromas and flavors of lush red and black berry fruit. As you swirl the wine in your glass, you will open up scents of vanilla, baking spices, brown sugar & maple from the Woodford barrels mingling with licorice, dark chocolate and black tea with just a hint of earth. On the palate, you will find the wine to be wonderfully rich and juicy with soft tannins that add to its intensity.
