2014 Eric Ross Pinot Noir Russian River Valley Nick's Block Sonoma County


"Taste The Vineyard" when drinking a bottle of Eric Ross Vineyards wine. Respect the vineyard and no interference, that's what makes Eric Luse owner and winemaker a rockstar and his wines taste exactly like each varietal should. 

I got a chance to share this bottle over a fathers day dinner with my oldest who was passing through on a visit. Perfect time to open this 2014 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. Dark cherry and rich cola grace the nose with a hint of vanilla. The flavor is intense with the rich dark cherry, a splash of red currant with cola and toasted vanilla. The finish is long and silky. Pinot Noir as it should be! Might be my new favorite wine from your lineup Eric.

Paired this beauty with one of my favorite dishes. Pork medallions with pomegranate cherry reduction sauce with air fried veggies. What a great pairing.

Cheers
Dan
