2018 Porter Creek Estate Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

13.6% alc., $40. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. Inviting aromas of dark cherry, red rose petal, earthy flora, warm croissant and a rub of oak. Glorious Bing cherry core with a hint of strawberry and oak. Juicy, with modest tannins. Easy to drink now, but lacks a little mid-palate and finishing richness. Score: 91. Reviewed August 22, 2021
