Nose

Bright aromas and focused fruit, ranging from wild strawberries and raspberries to red and black cherries. The Sterling Vineyards Russian River Valley Pinot Noir offers aromas of black cherry, plum, Jasmine tea and an exotic violet floral note.

Palate

The wine is lush on the palate with layers of complex flavors including a savory soy edge and warm vanilla caramel from the toasted barrel influence. This intriguing wine shows the complex nature of Russian River Valley fruit with excellent concentration, depth of flavor, fine, powdery tannins and balanced acidity.
