2018 EMERITUS HALLBERG VINEYARD RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY PINOT NOIR (375ML) "The Emeritus Hallberg Ranch Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2018 begins with a perfumed nose of briary wild red berries, sweet violets, cola bean, black plums, and oak spice. It is bright, vibrant, and powerful on the palate, with intensely focused fruit, including pomegranate, dried cranberries, and tart red cherries. It has a compact richness and incredible length, adding more intrigue. This wine has long been one of my favorite Pinot Noirs, and this vintage could be the best yet." 95 Points
