This is a very fruit-driven Russian River Valley Pinot, and that's certainly not a bad thing. There is not a lot of pronounced oak. The emphasis is on silky, slightly sweet blackberry, lavender, red currant, blueberry, and brown sugar notes. I think this Raeburn brand delivers very consistent values across the board, and I would recommend these wines. This particular Pinot Noir is really good for the money, especially if you know that you already love the plush, luxurious style of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. This wine definitely over-delivers for the money. (91 Points)
