Tasting notes
More mulberries, sour black cherries, bouquet garni, and a distinct yet subtle marine-like character all emerge from the 2018 Pinot Noir Jennifer's, a rich, beautifully balanced, incredibly singular Russian River Pinot Noir. This is another up-front, fleshy, already impressive 2018 from this estate that has the fruit and texture to shine today yet the class and balance to evolve for a decade.

The 2018 Pinot Noir Jennifer's has terrific fruit presence. Bright red cherry, blood orange, pomegranate, mint and spice all open in the glass, but it is the wine's midpalate sweetness and pliancy that stand out most. I would cellar the 2018 for at least a year or two, as the tannins are a bit imposing
The 2018 Pinot Noir Jennifer’s was aged for 16 months in French oak barrels, 35% new. Pale to medium ruby-purple colored, it bursts with juicy raspberries, Morello cherries and pomegranate notes plus hints of rhubarb, dried Provence herbs and lavender. Medium-bodied, the palate is soft-spoken and elegantly played with a plush texture and lively finish. 290 cases were made.
