Pinot Noir – 2014; Ron Yates Wines; Hye, Texas


Craving a good Pinot Noir is not an addiction, it is a love for fine wine.  Ron Yates has certainly done a fine job with this Russian River Valley sourced grape. A side note, you will see that the label just says Yates.  A rarity to have before the winery name had to be changed. The translucent light red color is great to admire and sets the pace for what is to come. After this one sits a bit to really open, breath in those great aromas of cherries and blueberries.  A swirl or two, and your palate will be enveloped by some serious dark chocolate.  There is a tantalizing spicy sensation for that fine finish. This wine has great complexity and you should enjoy it well.  This 2017 Silver medal winner from the Houston Rodeo International Wine Competition is well deserving for a place or two in your cellar.  Cheers!
