EMERITUS VINEYARDS Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley ‘Halberg Ranch Elite’ 2018

38% new French oak and aged for ten months, the Halberg Elite comes from a special field selection of rows from a single block at the ranch. My favorite of the Emeritus lineup, it’s more balanced, approachable, and shows no rough edges. Notes of Bing cherry, boysenberry, Christmas spices, and a hint of dried mountain sage spill from the glass. Fine-grained tannins, mouthwatering acidity, and a red-fruit and dried herb finish complete the wine.
