After a long absence from our pages, David Noyes comes roaring back with his bold and delicious 2008 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. Made from two select vineyard sources in the Green Valley subappellation of the Russian River Valley (Gunsalus and Benedetti Vineyards) this wine is long on flavor, intriguing aromatics and dynamic mouth-feel. Best enjoyed after decanting for at least 30 minutes, once this wine opens up, it softens and brings forth far more fruit and balance. Pair this dark Pinot Noir with a pork tenderloin with cherry reduction sauce. Enjoy now, or hold this wine for the next few years.
