From Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, Gary Farrell 2021 Pinot Noir is fragrant with black cherry, tart red currant, dried fine herbs and is vibrantly intense on the palate with a lingering finish on a red berry/cherry note. Enjoy it lightly chilled through 2032 with lamb chops from the grill.

Pinot Noir food pairings: grilled shoulder lamb chops, turkey pot pie, roast chicken.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Aromas of dark cherry and raspberry, along with hints of tobacco, cigar box, and graphite. Medium bodied on the palate with a lovely hint of acidity, providing balance to rich and ripe dark berry notes. Slight mineral and tobacco hints linger on the finish. Enjoy with grilled pork tenderloin.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
