Chev by Cirq 2019 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 94 Points

Jeb Dunnuck 94 Points: “The 2019 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is pure and ripe with raspberry liqueur, fresh violets, and elegant wood spice. The palate has a weightless feel, with an elegant structure and fully ripe tannins, fresh red fruit, and a floral lift. Drink it over the next 6-8 years.”

Michael Brown: Sparked by my love for old-school workmanship, CHEV pays tribute to the bygone days when artisans hand-wrought their wares to expert precision. Just like we do in our family shop, curating and refining the best grapes from the Russian River Valley to regions beyond. At CHEV, our pursuit is simple: to craft the finest wines that invite you to slow down and savor life’s simple pleasures.”

Winery  Notes: “On the nose, Boysenberry and cherry with light pastry cobbler and gentle aromas of savory spice, aged black tea, and vanilla bean..On the palate, Black cherry and juicy red plum intertwined with fresh earth and faint tobacco leaf. A seductive broad texture with vibrant acidity and a silky soft mouthfeel, followed by a suede finish with an earthy characteristic and a balancing high tone. Well-rounded with subtle, finely integrated tannins.”
