Benovia Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2017 Bottle:3 blackberry and toasty vanilla oakThis wine shows the power of blending across multiple sites, all vineyard designates of their own (Martaela Estate, Cohn Estate, Tilton Hill Estate and Zio Tony Ranch). Reductive initially, it is demure in earthy forest, nutmeg and sage as more forceful flavors of rose petal, blackberry and blood orange highlight a lightning rod of fresh acidity. Pair its lovely aromas and flavors of dark berries and wood with tea smoked duck over jasmine rice.
