2018 Bruliam Pinot Noir Torrey Hill Vineyard Russian River Valley

WSI93 JD91 Coming from two sites (Torrey Hill and Placida) in the Russian River Valley, the 2018 Pinot Noir Torrey Hill was destemmed and brought up in 25% new French oak. It has a ripe yet vibrant bouquet of red fruits, spring flowers, spice-box, and a touch of cola to go with a medium-bodied, elegant, beautifully balanced style on the palate. It’s already hard to resist yet is going to evolve for 5-6 years.
Estate Notes: Red cherries, violets, and cinnamon stick explode in an exuberant celebration of Russian River Valley terroir. Garnet-hued and medium bodied, the 2018 Torrey Hill is a smooth sip of juicy, red fruits and bright, uplifted acidity. The texture is polished and elegant, with a silky finish. Charm, yes, but also gravitas makes this wine a perennial favorite.
