J. Vineyards Russian River Valley Canfield Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017 Review
This is a very good example of the elegance and power of Pinot Noir from this region. Being a single vineyard wine, you get great focus and balance. The fruit core is supple and soft, and the wine smells like ripe cherries, balsamic, and a hint of soy and soil. Tannins are almost non-existent. I’m sure this wine, with a seared duck breast and maybe a blueberry sauce, would just sing — but this wine is so nice, I may just wanna nice hunk of local cheese, crusty bread, and some good friends.
