2019 Gunsalus Vineyard Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley

Big expressive bouquet of blackberry, raspberry, chocolate covered cherries and hint of desert dust, also a bit of tea and bramble. This wine is deep, full, rich, juicy and unctuous with flavors of berry pie, dark chocolate, white pepper, fruit leather and some spice. It possesses brooding heft, but is very alluring with the soft fine grained tannins and is silky and balanced, continuing into a long persistent delicious finish… this is a beauty.
