Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, Keefer Ranch

Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, Keefer Ranch Wine Details
Price:

Description: Picked in early September, the fruit was destemmed into open-topped fermenters and treated to twice daily manual punch downs during fermentation. After aging for 12 months in French oak barrels, 1/3 of which were new, the wine was bottled unfiltered in September, 2005. The classic Burgundian aromas of black cherry and baking spices are joined by an intense nose of roses. The lush mouth feel and mid-palette sweetness testify to the rich, round food-friendly tannins. Decant to drink now or lay down for up to a year; this wine will age well for 5-7 years
