title: Gracianna 2012 Mercedes Riverblock Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
description: The vineyard is on Westside Road, in the warmer part of the valley. The wine is gentle, balanced and immediately likeable for its array of raspberries, cherries and cola. Heat from alcohol makes it a little ungainly, and may limit ageability. Drink through 2019.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Mercedes Riverblock
