Lots of oaky aromas with vanilla, caramel and fudge laid over a fresh cherry and herbal background. It is smooth and supple with more red and sour-cherry flavours emerging in the mouth which dawdle on the tongue. It is youthful, well balanced and shows good potential for cellaring whilst being delicious to drink now. Cecil planted these Pinot Noir vines on the gentle rolling hills off Olivet Road in 1973 and was the first to plant the variety in the region. Since that time, Russian River Valley has become famous for Pinot.
