2015 Rodney Strong Russian River Pinot Noir
#nb-45-18
The wine from Russian River is usually quite good, and the Pinot Noir from Rodney Strong and that region have always been "winners". The 2015 vintage is another example of good wine from good soil and climate. We enjoyed a bottle last night with grilled pork loin chops.
The nose is fresh and pleasing like a basket of ripe fruit. While cherry is the predominate flavor, there is a background of plum with a little strawberry as well. The wine is rich and textured and leaves a lingering after-taste which begs for another sip. The alcohol content is 14.5% and Norm's score is 89.
The 2015 Rodney Strong Pinot Noir is an excellent choice for most grilled meats, and would also pair well with prime rib, or cedar planked salmon.
score: 89
price: $18 - $21
