CattleyaCuvee #1 Pinot Noir 2015

Cattleya is the wine brand that Bibiana Pisoni produces. Colombian-born, French-trained and now winemaker for Wayfarer and Pahlmeyer, this is her own label and it is one of the most exciting Pinot Noirs coming out of Russian River Valley today. This 2015 offering comes from Lakeview Vineyard in Green Valley, a sub-region of Russian River Valley. Comprised of the Pommard Clone and Clone 115, this quintessential RRV Pinot Noir is lush and vibrant with immediate aromas of wild berries, cassis and baking spices that are focused yet it retains a natural verve alongside its silky, smooth mouthfeel. There's complexity to the wine while also being a true crowd pleaser for all Pinot lovers and extremely reasonable priced for the quality.
