2010 Pinot Noir, Tina Marie Vineyard, Green Valley Russian River

Tasting Notes:  The 2010 Tina Marie is one of the most fragrant Pinots we have ever made. Immediate layers of spice occur, with white pepper and Asian five spice jumping out of the glass. Dusty cocoa is surrounded by bright black cherry and hints of cola. Around the balanced viscosity the fruit abounds on the palette with rhubarb and raspberry tart, as well as pure fennel and cola. This is a more structured Pinot with firmer tannins that are balanced with some fresh acidity allowing the wine to hold nicely over the next 7-8 years (2018-2019).
