River Road Family Vineyards and Winery, Stephanie’s Cuvée Pinot Noir 2017, Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California

Tasting Note: A red-fruit-forward pinot noir.

Medium-intensity ruby in color, this wine has a medium-intensity nose of red plum, red currant, red cherry, bramble and blossom with hints of vanilla baking spice.

On the palate the dry, medium-bodied pinot noir has medium-intensity flavors suggested on the nose supported by medium acidity and ripe, medium tannin.

The pinot noir is varietally correct and straightforward in taste profile.

Would pair well with seafood and white meat dishes.

Bottle Note: Stephanie’s Cuvée is a special blend of our estate and family farmed vineyard from Russian River Valley. This expressive pinot noir features black cherry and raspberry cream aromas and flavors. Subtle oak overtones can be found on the silky elegant finish.
