The 2010 Russian River Valley Reserve Sonoma County Pinot Noir is next, with the higher price tag ($ 35- $ 37) represented by the TLC the wine receives in the form of distinctive Pinot Noir clones from select vineyard blocks at MacMurray Ranch. For example, I discover Block L07 is known for its boysenberry and lavender notes, Block T09 for flavors of raspberry and rich cherry, etc.
