The 2018 Pinot Noir Olivet Ranch offers a super-classic Russian River expression of exuberant red cherry and plum fruit. Silky tannins add to the wine’s caressing, enveloping feel. Blood orange, sweet spice and floral accents add dimensions of nuance to play off the wine’s natural flamboyance. The Olivet Ranch is not quite as complex as the best wines in this range, but it is among the most complete and delicious to drink now.
