Kenwood Vineyards is one winery that always exceeds my expectations for their lower priced Sonoma County wines. This Pinot Noir fits that description.
The Russian River Valley empties into the Pacific Ocean in northern Sonoma County. The valley allows cool ocean fog to move inland and that cooling influence makes the area ideal for growing Pinot Noir grapes. Some of the best Pinot Noir in California comes from the Russian River Valley.
Kenwood Sonoma County Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is aged 12 months in French oak and the wine has 13.5% alcohol. This lighter bodied wine has flavors of raspberry, cherry, strawberry and some minerality. You can almost taste the cool fog in this wine and I liked it very much.
Costco does not always sell wine for the same price everywhere. I have read online that Costco is selling this wine for around $13 in some locations and that is a good price for a Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. But at the Costco in Greenville SC, there are stacks of the wine and they have reduced it to $8,99. If you can buy the wine for $8.99 you will want to take advantage of the sale.
SC Wine Joe rating = 89 points
