The 2021 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley) is dense, heady and explosive. All the classic Russian River exuberance comes through, but amplified in all of the good ways and none of the bad. Even with all of the richness and intensity, the 2021 retains good freshness as well as energy. A touch of whole clusters brightens the finish nicely.
This is a classic Russian River Pinot, boasting ripe black cherries and black plums, rather soft acidity, and a warm, soothing texture of fine-grained tannins. While easy to enjoy now, it has the balance and concentration for further aging. Best from 2025–2032. — Jim Gordon
