Croix Estate 'Floodgate' Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, USA 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Combottes The Vin Santo dell'Empolese fromA broader and concentrated style, the 2021 vintage is delightfully aromatic featuring wafty scents of Bing cherries, wild picked raspberries, honeysuckle, baking spice, sassafras (sugary and sweet), and a dash of fresh oak.
