2016 Furthermore Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

14.5% alc., pH 3.71, 416 cases, $40. Release June 15, 2019. Aged 10 months in French oak barrels, 20% new. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. Ripe Bing cherry aroma framed by toasty oak. Sleek in the mouth and silken in texture with a mid weight core of black cherry fruit overlain with oak. The mouthfeel is the best feature of this wine that has Russian River Valley typicality, but the fruit is a tad too ripe and too embellished with oak. Score: 88. Reviewed June 4, 2019
