Tobin’s Review 4 out of 5
The Calling Russian River Pinot Noir 2022 has dark cherry skin and ruby flesh hues with fruity cherry, a hint of spearmint and chocolate on the nose. The wine is soft with light cherry flavors. It has a hint of sweetness but ends with a light stone finish. It’s really a good light and easy to drink Pinot.
