title: En Garde 2009 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
description: Accolades to the winery for holding this wine back longer than most wineries dare to. It's just beginning to soften and develop bottle nuance, but is still marked by ripe raspberries and cherries. It's really lovely now, with brisk acidity brightening the fruit, and should continue to mellow over until 2020.
variety: Pinot Noir
