Raeburn Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2016 Review
A really fantastic California style Pinot that has a lovely nose of raspberry leaf, strawberry, and cherry. The palate is lean, high acid and cleansing. It's fresh, crisp and balanced with a very long finish. It's a really delicious Pinot and extremely rare to find something so good from the Russian River at this price point. Buy a case.
