Of The Place 2008 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
-
$30
Opulence, lushness and a silky, seductive texture are what you expect from Pinot Noir, and this one delivers them all. It’s bone dry and crisply clean in acidity, with subtle, complex flavors of cherries, raspberries, cola, red currants, licorice, bacon and peppery spices. Easy to drink from the get-go, and gets more interesting as it warms in the glass.
