- wondersofwine - 06-01-2004 Russian River Valley, Sonoma, CA 14.2% alcohol Dark purple-red color, clear Nose is both fruity (ripe dark cherries, plumskin) and floral (roses, violets). Similar flavors. Smooth mouthful with lingering finish. I find it very attractive, balanced even with the high alcohol level. I paid $20.99 at the grocery store, apparently marked down from $23.99. Worth the price. Use of wood is appropriate and enhanced the final product. Very drinkable now. Probably will remain drinkable for several more years. Give it a try. Had with baked ham and German potato salad. Saw on another wine forum that Bucko rated the 2000 version of this 87/87. I would agree with that rating that this is a very good Pinot Noir.
