2019 Bricoleur Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

Appearance:
A shimmering ruby hue with light garnet edges.

Nose:
Aromatics are layered and inviting—redcurrants, wild strawberries, and pomegranate intermingle with forest floor, cloves, dried rose petals, and subtle incense. Notes of fresh mushrooms and olive tapenade underscore the varietal authenticity.

Palate:
Medium to full-bodied with fleshy, polished tannins. The wine opens with tart red cherries and evolves into rich layers of anise, earthy spice, and black tea. There’s a savory quality—mushrooms, dried herbs, and a hint of game—that contrasts beautifully with the fruit brightness. The oak is seamlessly integrated, enhancing depth without overpowering the fruit.

Finish:
Silky and persistent, the finish resonates with exotic spices, dried cranberry, and a touch of minerality, leaving a clean, spicy trail.
