2011 Belle Glos Dairyman Pinot Noir

Russian River Valley, CA

$40

This is a fantastic expression of RRV fruit coming from the Wagner Family. Wagner is behind such smash labels as Caymus, Meomi, Mer Soleil, etc. Nice little bit of age on it too. Great ripe fruit with a long finish. I think this wine will hold up for a few more years of cellaring if you can be patient. This wine was amazing as a Thanksgiving bottle, but great on its own as well. Don’t be scared to drink wine without food. Some of them are best that way! The best part of this wine is that it is generally readily available at most retailers so get out there and grab a bottle or two.
