Tasting notes
The 2018 Pinot Noir KR Ranch is incredibly elegant in this vintage, with a level of perfumed and aromatic breadth I don't remember seeing before. Crushed red berry, spice, mint, blood orange, rose petal and bright acids all race out of the glass. This is one of the most refined wines I have tasted off KR Ranch, formerly Keefer Ranch.

The 2018 Pinot Noir KR Ranch comes from the Green Valley region of the Russian River and was brought up in 19% new French oak. Its deeper ruby color is followed by an earthy bouquet of darker currants and cherry fruits as well as notes of damp soil, spring flowers, and spice. It's beautiful on the palate and has a pure, elegant texture, silky tannins, and a great finish. It's California's answer to a terrific Côte de Nuits.
