Gary Farrell

Russian River Selection Pinot Noir

Winning 94 points anywhere is impressive, but it's doubly so when it comes from Wine Enthusiast Magazine. The 2017 Pinot Noir from Gary Farrell is an outstanding showcase of the Russian River Valley appellation and is sourced from Hallberg, Rochioli, and Martaella vineyard sites. This elegant Pinot Noir opens with alluring aromas of Bing cherry, pomegranate, boysenberry syrup, and preserved raspberries. Flavors of cremini mushrooms and cherry cola with hints of white pepper and clove unfold on the palate. The supple tannins develop into a soft, silky finish complemented with abundant acidity on the finish.

NOTE: This is NOT a Firstleaf Exclusive Wine.

Due to state registrations, we cannot ship this wine to AL, AZ, CO, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, MD, ME, MI, MO, NJ, NV, NY, OH, PA, SD, TX, VT, WA.

WINE REGION:

Outline of Russian River Valley

Russian River Valley

Prized for its elegant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Sonoma's Russian River Valley is one of California's premier AVAs for cool-climate wines. Blessed with the Petaluma Gap—a break in the coastal mountains where chill, foggy air blows in from the Pacific—the valley also benefits from the effects of the Russian River itself. This draws cool Pacific Ocean air inland and creates blanketing fogs that veil the vineyards throughout the chilly mornings. The result is one of the state's longest and coolest growing seasons. Bracing acidity and complex flavors characterize wines from this region, which also includes excellent sparklers made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

TASTING NOTES:

Cloves

White Pepper

Cherry

This is a Pinot with red fruit flavors that veer from fresh to syrupy, but it's not just one note. There are beautiful hints of mushroom and cola that play off of white pepper and cloves. The tannins are silky and encourage a long and nuanced finish.
