title: Tessier Winery 2014 Morelli Lane Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
description: This producer makes small amounts of minimal-intervention wines from a handful of California appellations and this one does a good job of capturing Russian River. Peppery and steeped in dried herb and lavender, it goes light on the oak to show tightly woven tannin and structure, but the floral aromatics, especially of rose, really shine.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Morelli Lane Vineyard
