Valdez Pinot Noir RRV Ulises Valdez 2010
A wonderfully hedonistic experience! Gorgeous aromas of sweet cherries, plum, and underbrush lead to a palate that is round and plush featuring soft, polished tannins. This seductive Pinot offers up ample red and dark fruit that is accentuated by spice and savory notes that is focused and well-structured with a long, elegant yet lively finish. Enjoy this stunner for the next 5 years.
