2015 Pinot Noir - Russian River Valley

The very pure, ripe cherry fruit of first-rate Russian River Valley Pinot takes center stage here and is joined by wholly complementary sweet oak that adds a touch of root beer and crème brûlée to both its very deep, many-layered aromas and its lush and lithe flavors. It is a rich wine to be sure, but it is also impeccably balanced and never threatens to be too much of a good thing, and it shows great fruity stamina and exceptional finishing length. As impressive as it is for its purity and richness, it is at least as much so for its careful crafting, and we see no reason to question its ability to age famously for a half-dozen or more years.

2016 Pinot Noir - Russian River Valley

This wine from Charles Vineyard, located in Anderson Valley, is always a different animal yet always a treat. The garnet-colored 2016 has a clean, juicy red fruit nose with sweet, inviting floral notes joining in as the wine opens. It’s a great lead into the focused, concentrated pomegranate, cranberry and raspberry flavors that wind around an impressively dense core. Balanced acidity and fine-grained tannins fill the palate from front to finish, indicating the wine will age gracefully. Unfortunately a glass of this seriously fine wine empties surprisingly fast. Buy several bottles, or a case or two, so you'll have some to tuck away for awhile.
