Wine of the Week: Gary Farrell Russian River Valley Pinot Noir-$45

Published on

A Pinot Noir of the exceptional quality of Gary Farrell Russian River Valley Pinot Noir should cost considerably more, but this gem of a wine is moderately priced at only $45. It packs a wallop at any price.

Named a Top 100 Winery for two straight years by Wine and Spirits Magazine, the winery has established itself as the primary maker of ‘Grand Cru’ wines in the Russian River Valley.

Blended from 100% Pinot Noir grapes from the top wineries in the region, this is the best that the Russian River Valley has to offer. Youthful, tangy with a complex palate of flavors, this is a wine to enjoy with your favorite summertime foods or simply by itself while enjoying the long summer evenings ahead. 

Think of raspberry or cherry preserves with a hint of blood orange and some warm caramel and a bit of nutmeg to round it off. That’s just how yummy this wine tastes. Save it for that special dinner of your favorite cut of steak or duck glazed in orange sauce or a Butterflied Leg of Lamb brushed with Harissa Sauce over hot coals with Grilled Asparagus and a side of Roasted Multi-colored New Potatoes. Save some for Berries and Cream or an adventurous cheese course of locally produced Sonoma County Cheeses. The possibilities are endless. If you drink be responsible.
