2012 Freeman Vineyard & Winery Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, USA 750ml

The 2012 Pinot Noir Russian River exhibits a lighter medium ruby color as well as more sassafras, cola, beet root and clove characteristics along with sweet cinnamon-infused black cherries. The complex aromatics are followed by a lush, sexy, medium-bodied, round, distinctive Pinot Noir that should drink well for 4-5 years. I loved the complexity and seductiveness of this offering.
