2017 Rivers Marie Pinot Noir BearWallow Sonoma Coast

Medium ruby, the 2017 Pinot Noir Bearwallow Vineyard, aged 10 months in 33% new French oak, has a savory nose of pink peppercorn, bergamot, spiced blackberries, crushed black and red cherries and warm raspberry preserves with notes of woodsmoke and pipe tobacco. Light to medium-bodied, rounded and silky, it has a great core of nuanced fruit with a soft frame and juicy freshness, finishing very long and energetic. 260 cases were made.
