2018 Chappellet Apple Lane Vineyard Pinot Noir Russian River Valley

(94 Points  --  Wine Advocate)

The 2018 Pinot Noir Grower Collection Apple Lane Vineyard has a medium ruby color and very pretty aromas of spiced cranberry sauce, licorice and rhubarb with super spicy, amaro-like accents. The palate is medium-bodied, silky and layered with very spicy flavors, uplifted freshness and a very long finish. 856 cases produced. (EB)  Review Date: 08/2020
