title: MacPhail 2012 The Flyer Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
description: Intensely earthy, this wine hails predominantly from Susanna's Vineyard, a site in the heart of the Green Valley section of the larger Russian River Valley that's known for its elevation and coolness. Here, crisp raspberry and cherry do provide a sense of that coolness, but the wine develops into a substantial behemoth of full-bodied richness and weight, with a powerful, peppery finish.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: The Flyer
