Maritana Vineyards 'Le Russe' Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, California, USA 2021

Description

From Donald Patz’s Maritana project, Le Russe highlights the depth and finesse of Russian River Pinot Noir. The 2021 shows lifted aromas of ripe cherry, cranberry, and pomegranate layered with rose petal, spice, and a touch of forest floor. On the palate it’s medium-bodied and silky, with vibrant red fruit, fine-grained tannins, and lively acidity. Elegant and pure, with a long, perfumed finish, this Pinot balances richness with restraint, offering both immediate charm and cellaring potential.
