2016 Domaine Della Graham Family Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

14.5% alc., 125 cases, $75. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. A very ripe-fruited wine bordering on roasted character, offering aromas of cherry compote, root beer and cigar. A bold attack of the blackest cherry, cola, black tea, tobacco and dark chocolate flavors great the palate. Silken in mouth feel, with immersed tannins and a modest finish. The wine has Russian River Valley character traits but the super-ripeness detracts. Score: 89. Reviewed April 14, 2018
