2013 En Garde Gold Ridge Green Valley of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

100 cases, $54. Clones 667, “828,” and 115. Harvest Brix 24º. Aged 17 months in French oak barrels, 50% new. Unfined and unfiltered. · This moderately light cherry red colored wine is a cherry bombast. Aromas of fresh cherry and earthy flora lead to a red cherry, strawberry and spicy array of flavors having noticeable mid palate richness that trails off slowly on the long finish. There is good cut for vibrancy and silky tannins making this forward drinking wine very satisfying. Score: 92. Reviewed June 18, 2016
