2021 Rodney Strong Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
#15-2024
Quite some time back, I learned that you could usually count on Pinot Noir from Sonoma County's Russian River Valley to be dependably good. The 2021 selection from Rodney Strong fits the bill. This is a classy Pinot Noir for a fairly mundane price.
The scent waifs across the room as you uncork the bottle, a harbinger of good things to come. The initial flavor is cherry, backed up by dark plum. The nuances in the background are a bit of earthy spice and a mellow toasty oak for the finish. The alcohol content is 14.5% and Norm's score is 89.
I usually recommend Pinot Noir for Prime Rib, or Grilled Salmon, however. I would suggest you pair this one with Lamb Osso Buco for a real treat!
score: 89
price : $17 - $21
