Deep red color. Dark berries and candied cherry on the nose, with smoky oak and tobacco qualities adding depth and a brooding character. Fleshy dark berry flavors are sweetened by oak spices and firmed by youthful tannins. Finishes with gentle grip and lingering sweetness. -Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
 
Located in the western hills of the Russian River Valley, Green Valley is one of Sonoma County's coolest regions. Blankets of fog pushed over from the Pacific Ocean chill the otherwise hot summer evening air and ensure temperate mornings. The valley's optimal weather conditions extend the growing season and produce concentrated berries while soils rich in minerals from an ancient seabed infuse the fruit with nuanced flavors.

Accolades

CW 88 Fruit, while not wholly absent, does takes some-thing of a backseat to ripeness in this rounded, slightly viscous and rather accessible Pinot, but what is an inviting start is contrasted by an unwelcome flare of heat in the wine's finish, and we are left wanting just a bit more. -Josh Raynolds, Connoisseurs Wine, Rated: 88

WS 88 A blend from several vineyards in the Green Valley appellation. The vineyards represent different clones, each of which contributes something unique to the finished wine. Each vineyard site has been carefully selected to display the bright, crystalline fruit characteristics of classic Green Valley Pinot Noir. -Wine Spectator: 88 points
