2007 Crinella Vineyards Estate Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., $40. Winemaker is
Rod Berglund of Joseph Swan Vineyards.
·
Moderately light in color. Aromas of dark cherries, raisins, sawdust
and oak. Ripe, slightly roasted red fruit flavors that are on the lighter side enrobed by healthy tannins. Soft
and clean but flavors don’t excite. Decent.
