Lynmar Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

Lynmar Russian River Valley Pinot Noir Wine Details
Price: $32.00 per bottle

Description: The light garnet hue is a first indication that this is not a big, over-the-top California Pinot Noir. The aromas really jump out of the glass—blackberries, cola, just-ripe plums and rose hips are framed by earthy notes of green tea, gunpowder and grilled asparagus. On the palate, pretty perfumed notes of sarsaparilla, strawberry jam, cardamom and lavender are really pushed out in front by the wine’s bright acidity, medium body and slightly earthy summer truffle low notes. The purity of perfume and fruit notes carries through the lingering finish, with a subtle toastiness in the background. This wine is meant to be accessible upon release, and should continue to improve through at least 2008.
