2011 Scherrer Hallberg Vineyard Green Valley of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

14.5% alc.,48 cases, $75. Released October 2015. Fruit from this vineyard is the normal backbone of the Russian River Valley bottling. · Moderately dark reddish purple color in the glass. A haunting wine, with intense mid weight plus flavors of black cherry, blackberry, cola, spice, dried herbs and a hint of tarry oak. An underlying citric edge brings the juicy fruit alive. Impressive length on the palate and the lush finish. Score: 92. Reviewed November 22, 2015
