The Quail Ridge vineyard just north of
Sebastopol is one of the most renowned Pinot Noir vineyards in the famed Russian River.
Such wines can have unbelievable longevity potential which is seldom exploited. This wine received eight years' aging in 20-year-old French oak and developed astonishing nuances, yet remains full of fresh black cherries that mark the Russian River.
My cellar hands counsel us to serve this
wine whenever romance needs a boost.
