2017 CRU 9 IRREVERENT RUSSIAN RIVER PINOT NOIR

$50.00

When I’m presented with a new wine, the first thing that I want to know is what vineyard the grapes are from. But what happens when the location of the grapes cannot be named due to a non-disclosure agreement? Some of the greatest vineyards in the world don’t want their name on a wine that’s sold for a much lower price than their own, or in some cases they don’t want their name on any wine other than their own. When we come across a wine from an extraordinary, yet un-named fruit source, the taste is what tells us everything we need to know. Cru9’s Russian River Valley Pinot Noir has a royal presence on the palate, with a remarkably high-level of focus and definition that’s rare to find at this price point. At $50/btl this Pinot truly has it all, but at $39.99/btl, you’re going to want it all…

2017 CRU 9 IRREVERENT RUSSIAN RIVER PINOT NOIR – Master Sommlier Tasting Notes: “A captivating Pinot Noir with a gorgeous nose of mountain strawberries, ripe raspberries, cola and dried Spring flowers. On the palate, it is supple and lush with mixed berries, red plum, tart cranberry, tangerine peel and a beautifully long finish that lingers. An amazing wine that drinks great now, but has enough structure to cellar for a decade or so.“ Kevin M. Vogt, 93 Points
