Description
Red Wine by LaRue from Sonoma County, California. The 2014 LaRue Rice-Spivak Vineyard Pinot Noir is from a six-acre vineyard south of the town of Sebastopol. The soils on this vineyard are Goldridge sandy loam along with volcanic ash. The Goldridge is very common for the area, while the volcanic ash is quite unusual. This distinctive soil profile along with the clonal selections of Dijon and Swan create a wine that is balanced with good acidity, fresh aromas, and an unmistakable minerality. Opening up with aromas of sweet cherry and just ripe strawberry, this wine evolves into aromatic layers of cherry compote, orange blossom, lavender, and notes of cocoa nibs, cinnamon spice, & forest floor. On the palate, there is bright red fruit of cherry, cranberry, and raspberry that intermingle with hints of violets, orange oil, and spiced plums. This wine is silky and has the essence of cinnamon and vanilla oak notes giving the wine a firm, yet lush finish.
