2019 Umino Vineyard Russian River Valley

The 2019 Umino Vineyard is an undeniably flashy and delightful Pinot Noir that dazzles from nose to finish.  True to its Russian River Valley roots, the wine opens with a nose that shines with raspberry and blue fruits.  A rich, bottomless well of aromas and flavors creates a seamless bridge from nose to palate.  Once in the mouth, the fruit notes take on a bit of a brambly character, without sacrificing any purity, or richness of fruit.  Even at this level of concentration and intensity, the coastal influences at Umino keeps the wine fresh, and contributes tantalizing complexities of pine forest and pie spice.  An absolute riot of a wine.
