2023 Bricoleur Pinot Noir Russian River Valley

San Francisco Wine Panel Score 96+ Points

Gaining clarity, grace and a touch of exotica as it airs, this Pinot Noir ultimately pours forth aromas of black raspberry, Bing cherry, cranberry-orange relish, Elephant Heart plum, mace, star anise and hazelnut nougat. On the palate it is both rich and lingering, as suggestions of bottled red fruits, orange peel and sweet-savory spice highlight the core flavors and easily dominate some silky yet drying tannins. Distinctive and certain to be even better in another year or two, it is already a dinner-worthy treat. 2436 cases produced.
