Iron Horse, Green Valley of Russian River Valley (Sonoma County, California) Pinot Noir Winery Block 2020 ($87)

Unsurprisingly, Iron Horse, a leader in sparkling wine made from the traditional grapes, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, knows something about Pinot Noir, as this rendition shows. This ripe, mid-weight Pinot Noir focuses on the bright Green Valley fruit for which the sub-region is known. Lively acidity keeps it fresh while mild tannins support the suave body without intruding. Drink now with grilled salmon.
