2017 Charlie Clay Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley
Our inaugural vintage of our Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is
uncluttered by manipulative techniques. Its pure expression
of high-toned red fruit, Asian spice, and violet petal dance
beautifully from the glass. Sweet red cherry and earth tones
marry seamlessly with perfectly positioned tannins and
nuances of toasted oak. Still in its youth, this wine is just
starting to reveal layers of complexity and energy. This
wine will drink best over the next 6-10 years and age
gracefully for many more after that.
