Nugent Vineyard - Robert Stemmler

Robert Stemmler

2006 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

Nugent Vineyard


11 acres in the heart of the Russian River Valley; tightly spaced vines of Dijon 115 and 667 clones. This Pinot is consistently light, very little pepper and stable fruit. Excellent to sip with friends or to enhance a pork meal and perhaps seabass. You can't go wrong with this forty dollar bottle which was found at Trader Joes for Twenty Dollars. Good luck finding a bottle, and look for it at special restaurants. Even though this is not a value priced wine, it is a must share announcement.
