Red Wine by Olivet Lane from Russian River, California. Our 2013 Olivet Lane Vineyard Pinot Noir exhibits the exceptional delicacy and elegance conferred by this special vineyard. Its intricate aroma is distinguished by candied cherry, spiced with vanilla, allspice and cardamom, and is perfumed with rose petal and heady incense. Complex and deeply layered flavors offer a succession of macerated strawberries, pomegranate, cola, praline, caramel, roasted coffee and chocolate. The seamless mouth feel is plush and silky across the palate, finishing with a sumptuous creaminess. A superb match for this velvety wine would be a rack of veal roasted to pink perfection. While drinking expansively in the present, we are enthralled by the aging potential of this particular vintage. This is a wine that promises to develop additional complexity through five to eight years of cellaring.
