2010 Picket Fence Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
13.8% alc., pH 3.77, TA 0.54, $17.99. From Bronco
Wine Company in Hopland.
·
Moderately light reddish-purple color in the glass. Some reduction upon opening,
eventually revealing aromas of red cherries and smoke. A lighter, nimble style with a cherry core back by a
smoky oak flavor that diminishes over time. Decent.
