2020 | Father John Vine Hill Road Pinot Noir | Russian River Valley Tait Wines I picked the Brut Sonate

I picked the Brut Sonate 2011 to include in my book

with great persistence and volume

the 2019 Champagne Special Club Brut is a very pretty wine made from 60% Pinot Noir and the rest Chardonnay

This is big-boned Haut-Médoc that packs a serious punch at the front

2020 | Father John Vine Hill Road Pinot Noir | Russian River Valley Tait Wines I picked the Brut SonateA clear ruby red color, this quietly magnificent Pinot Noir has a seductive, complex aroma of wild strawberry, redcurrant, and fresh spice from whole bunches. The palate is medium bodied, delicate, with great freshness and clarity of fruit expression allied to silky tannin.
