2013 Siduri Elsbree Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

14.4% alc., 103 cases, $45, screwcap. · Moderately light reddish purple color in the glass. This wine shows the most oak imprint of the lineup but it is not imposing. Aromas of dark cherry, cola, rose petal and espresso. Very smooth and creamy on the palate with very taste dark cherry and berry flavors accented with cola and dark chocolate notes. Very inviting with soft tannins. Score: 90. Reviewed December 10, 2014 WINERY » ARTICLE »

2007 Papapietro Perry Elsbree Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

14.5% alc., 937 cases, $49. This vineyard consists of a field blend of about 20 clones on multiple rootstocks. Farmed by Chuck Elsbree. · A very complex and alluring nose displaying red plum and red current fruit with a sniff of cactus flower, roasted nuts, herbs and oak vanillin. A demure wine that is packed with flavors of spiced stone fruits and berries. Youthful tannins are evident and there is good grip, even a slight tartness to the refreshing and lingering finish. Still not showing all of its charms. I really like this wine and salute its uniqueness. Reviewed May 7, 2009 WINERY » ARTICLE »
