An elegant, classic Pinot Noir with a slow reveal that gets better with each taste. A superb growing season resulted in pristine fruit at optimal ripeness from RSV’s organically farmed vineyards. Beautiful aromatics, deliciously complex fruit and spice notes with a youthful vivaciousness make for a perfectly balanced wine. Aromas and flavors of fresh rose petal, lilac and sage sit atop cranberry, bing cherry, strawberry, blood orange and rhubarb while savory herb, cinnamon and earth notes add a baseline of depth. Pristine and alive, this wine has a beautifully long and vibrant finish. A perfect dinner companion now and for years to come.
94 VinePair Robert Sinskey makes some of the most prized wines in northern California. He and his father took on winemaking in the '80s while Robert was on sabbatical from a photojournalism degree. When a client fell on hard times and couldn’t buy the grapes, Robert was supposed to stay and help his father for six months — and he never left. His love for wine, and specifically Pinot Noir, kept him in the vineyards. Coming from the coolest corner of Napa, this wine welcomes the senses with floral, cherry, and cranberry aromas with a hint of cinnamon. The palate is focused, with great acidity controlling the concentrated fruit depth.
