99 Barrels Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2014
About the wine
Bright, cherry fruit defines this quintessential Russian River Pinot
- One whiff of this, and you'll understand why Russian River is world famous for it's delicate, silky smooth Pinot notable for bright cherry fruit and liveliness. Mix in a delicate whiff of spice and vanilla from some luxurious oak aging and you've got yourself a killer glass of wine.
- Derek worked with a perfect Pinot vineyard on the southwest end of the Russian River Valley where the vines grow in gravelly clay soil and enjoy warm California days and cool wine country nights.
- And because you funded the fruit from scratch and gave Derek all the tools he needed to make an amazing wine, you get this world class bottle for a fraction of the price.
