RSV’s Pinot Noir from the 2017 vintage has an infectious bounce to its step. Bright aromas and flavors of ripe, red berry and plum set the stage of deliciousness alongside notes of lavender, flowering sage, blood orange and intoxicating spicy hints of cinnamon, cardamom and vanilla bean. For all of the wine’s playful juiciness and voluptuousness, the finish takes a classic, serious tone of depth and complexity. The polished fully-ripe tannins are youthfully firm, lending a backbone for a lengthy, mouthwatering finish that suggests this wine to be a superlative dinner companion. - TASTING NOTES
