A perennial favorite, the Eastside Road Neighbors highlights the darker flavor profile of the Russian River Valley. Black fruits and plums mix with notes of Chinese five spice and violets. Tangerine adds a liveliness and gives focus to the nose. In the mouth, the wine is generous and offers dark cherry flavors enveloped in a nice core of loamy, mineral-driven textures. The tannins are substantial in this wine but highly polished and approachable.
2017 Eastside Road Neighbors Pinot Noir
Reviews
94 / Vinous
The 2017 Pinot Noir Eastside Road Neighbors is wonderfully deep and expressive, with striking tonalities of ripe dark red/purplish fruit, spice, leather and earthiness. In this range, the Eastside Road Neighbors is distinguished by its baritone voice and resonance, all delivered in a highly appealing, mid-weight style. This plump, juicy Pinot offers considerable near and medium term appeal. A.G.
94 / Wine Spectator
This is loaded with lusciously spiced and broad-textured flavors of cherry, plum tart and dried fig that resonate with lithe minerality. Complex, featuring an elegant finish that is rich and filled with light chocolate mousse overtones. Drink now through 2026. 1,289 cases made. –KM
