Tasting notes
Bright, transparent garnet. Not too sweet on the nose which is actually really burgundian. But the palate has a notably candified start – very Russian River – and then quite a bit of freshness. A nice drink – as it should be at this price – with commendable persistence. (JR)

Pale to medium ruby colored, the 2014 Pinot Noir Westside Neighbors reveals aromas of raspberry leaves, Bing cherries, lavender and fragrant earth with a waft of potpourri. The palate is beautifully harmonious with soft, silky tannins and a refreshing line of acid, finishing fine and elegant.
The 2014 Pinot Noir Westside Road Neighbors is juicy, forward and beautifully open-knit. Although not especially complex, the Westside Road Neighbors offers lovely fleshiness as well as considerable near to medium-term appeal, all in the racy, fruit-driven style that is so typical of the Russian River.
