Rated 90
A medium ruby color, the 2022 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is a ripe, spicy wine offering a generous perfume of cherry pie, baking spices, floral perfume, and cedar spice. It's juicy and ripe on the palate, with a medium to full-bodied-frame, ripe tannins, and a clean, fruity, spiced finish. It's a very charming wine to drink now or over the next few years. It was raised in French oak barrels for nine months. Drink 2025-2028.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips
- Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
- Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
- Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
- Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
