Hailing from the celebrated vineyards of Russian River Valley, the 2017 ‘JINSEI’ Pinot Noir is a testament to the region’s ideal conditions for this delicate varietal. With a score of 93 points, it’s clear this wine sings in harmony with its terroir. A symphony of bright red cherries and wild strawberries greets the palate, underpinned by subtle notes of clove and forest floor that add a layer of complexity. The finish is long and satisfying, with a hint of vanilla from the careful oak aging. This elegant Pinot Noir is a brilliant choice for a romantic dinner, pairing beautifully with dishes like duck confit or mushroom risotto. For a wine of this quality and character, it’s a smart buy that offers exceptional value.
