Domaine de la Rivière 2018 Middle Reach Vineyards Pinot Noir, Starr Ridge & El Diablo Vineyards, Russian River Valley

Tasting Notes:

The 2018 Middle Reach Vineyards is a classic Middle Reach “Neighborhood” wine that exhibits dark fruit and silky elegance. The aromatics display boysenberry, candied cherry and hints of licorice and sage. The palate is driven by black cherry, red plum, red currant, and pomegranate accompanied by touches of allspice, cardamom, and white pepper. Intense acidity supports a long velvety finish.
