EMERITUS VINEYARDS Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley ‘Wesley’s Reserve’ 2018

The 2018 Wesley’s Reserve Pinot Noir sees 33% new French oak for 11 months and showcases a medium ruby-purple core with a pinkish rim, I love the impressive nose on this wine. Think of aromas of black cherry, boysenberry, pine forest, brown mushroom, wet earth, and scraped vanilla bean. Tannins are firm yet sweet, with lovely acidity, a full body, and a lengthy dark-fruit and spice-driven finish. $75 93 Points 2022-2030
