Morét-Brealynn 2022 Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, Sonoma County

Tasting Notes:

On the nose the wine exudes plum, cherry, and chocolate. It is silky on the attack with a nice mix of fresh dark fruit and light herbal notes. This wine is a nicely focused wine with a juicy mouthfeel and an uplifting finish.
