Mara Winery Pinot Noir (Laughlin) 2009

This single-vineyard pinot noir is farmed and owned by one of the best growers in the Russian River Valley. Low-yield grapes with no fining of filtering makes this an exceptional wine hand crafted and limited. A burgundian style with complex hints of fresh mushrooms, black raspberries and cherries, and a forest earthiness. The mouthfeel is dense and rich with an excellent balance of all the flavors mentioned. This is a wine that will turn heads!
