2016 Three Sons Cuvee Pinot Noir
shipping included
Tasting Notes
A blend of Pinot Noir vineyards in Sebastopol creating a classic Russian River Pinot with a hat-tip to Burgundy. Beautifully balanced, it leads with dark cherry, delivering a mid-palate of clove, cinnamon and forest floor, and a lingering finish of black pepper. This serves as a college fund for our three sons, Connor, Adam, and Quinn. But it's a passion for Pinot that leads the charge!
