The 2007 Emeritus Russian River Valley Pinot Noir reflects an exceptional vintage. This single-vineyard blend from the Hallberg Ranch is well balanced with rich berry flavors, crisp acidity, and firm tannins for aging. The cuvée is comprised primarily from four clones: the 115 and Pommard give the wine its freshness and the 828 and 777 provide structure and intensity. This wine displays classic Russian River Valley personality, and a once-in-a-generation expression of character with a velvety mouth feel and a long, long lingering finish.
