Lion's Pride
2004
Russian River Valley
Pinot Noir
This wine is developing beautifully, showing off its true Russian River Valley heritage. Lovely aromas of ripe plums and luscious berries are accented by hints of vanilla, cola and savory allspice. The tannins are full and rich creating a full bodied, mouthwatering palate. This wine’s a keeper!

Lion's Pride
2005
Russian River Valley
Pinot Noir
The nose is redolent of ripe cherries, wild berry jam, violets, spice, crème brûlée and honey cured bacon. Your mouth fills with Bing cherries, raspberries, root beer, fennel, spice and toasted vanilla beans. The ripe, concentrated tannins are rich and plump across the palate. The bright acididty and berry finish is long and lingering. A wine that should age well with additional cellaring.

2007
Russian River Valley
Pinot Noir
The 2007 El Molino Pinot Noir has rich forward favors of ripe cherry, sweet cherry, and strawberry cola. The midpalate has great structure and acididty, finishing long and soft with a touch of smoke.
