2010 Silver Trident Winery Benevolent Dictator Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.1% alc., 200 cases, $55. Aged in 40% new French oak barrels
·
My
first experience with this winery and a good one. Moderate reddish-purple color
in the glass. The nose brims with aromas of Bing cherries, baking spices and
toasty, nutty oak. Very smooth and charming on the palate with mid weight
flavors of dark cherry pie glaze, cola, red licorice and spice. Very classy and
seamless with impeccable balance. The spiced cherry flavor was even more
intense the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle.
Score: 92.
