Michael Pozzan Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is a show stopper from the very start. The vibrant nose entices with aromas of orange peel, rose petal, bright raspberry and cranberry, with a subtle hint of nutmeg and cloves. In the mouth, the wine shows luxuriously silky tannins, with well-integrated oak framing the richly layered flavors of raspberry, freshly roasted coffee, and cloves, with the subtle spiciness of a fig leaf. The finish is lengthy and perfumed with long lasting French vanilla bean.
