2016 JOSEPH JEWELL “RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY” PINOT NOIR

Finding a value Pinot that tastes like it should be more than double the price, could take a lifetime of searching… We found ours back in April of 2018 with the 2014 Joseph Jewell, which later earned a spot on our top 5 wines of 2018.  That was followed by the 2015 vintage, which also made our top 5 list in 2019, and now, with the release of the 2016 vintage, it not only lived up to our grand expectations, it absolutely crushed them.

The 2016 Joseph Jewell Russian River marries fruit from iconic sites Hallberg, Floodgate, and Bucher Vineyards.  Williams-Selyem and Gary Farrell Pinot fans likely recognize these sites as being spectacular.

On the palate the 2016 is full, rich and opens up to a basket of black cherries, ripe raspberries, black tea, and blue violets.  Just like the previous vintages, the weight on the palate and fleshy, rich textures are absolutely sublime, and it’s become a hallmark of this brand.

If you missed the 2016 vintage, be sure to check out the 2017 release here
