2006 MacMurray Ranch Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.0% alc., $35.
Hand harvested, de-stemmed, cold soaked for 5 days, fermented with a mixture
of natural and Burgundian yeasts.
·
This is a dense fruit-driven wine which lacks
the trademark spice and cola features of many Russian River Valley Pinot Noirs.
There is plenty of dark fruit and tannin but this wine could be from anywhere.
