Benovia Pinot Noir Russian River 2020

Critical Acclaim: 94 pts Wine Enthusiast. 

Winemaker Tasting Notes:  From vineyards we harvested before the fires, we were able to craft a Russian River Valley Pinot Noir with intense fruit, spice aromas and layered texture. Aromas are dominated by red fruits, plum, and vine-ripened raspberry, while black fruits dominate on the palette. The vibrant aromas expand and give way to bright red fruits and baking spices. On the palate the wine has integrated acidity and fine tannins that should allow for mid-term cellaring. As always, the wine was bottled without fining or filtration. 

"This alluring wine hits the sweet spot, combining gorgeous ripe cherries and berries with a dash of tangy acidity and moderate tannins to balance out the effusive fruit. Oak spices from cinnamon to clove and ginger contribute nicely to the wine’s complexity and appeal."- Wine Enthusiast.
