Moderately dark reddish-purple
color in the glass. Lovely aromas of fresh Bing cherries with a
touch of exotic spices. Moderately rich core of perfectly ripened black
cherries with complimentary hints of cola, edible flower, earth and oak
in the background. The very long and intensely fruity finish lasts at
least 30 seconds. Very forward and charming as the name would imply. I really
enjoyed drinking this marvelous example of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir.

2009 Shane The Charm Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.1% alc., 100 cases, $32.
·
Deep, dark reddishpurple
color in the glass. Slightly reduced initially, evolving to reveal shy aromas of dark fruits, cut flowers and
smoky oak. Fat on the palate with a full load of plum and cassis flavor with a noticeable oak accent. Lacks
acidity, seemingly a bit flabby with a slight bitterness on the finish. Decent.
