94 pts - new from Michael Browne! This is the latest project of Michael Browne (Kosta Browne and CIRQ)! Limited. 94 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2019 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is pure and ripe with raspberry liqueur, fresh violets, and elegant wood spice. The palate has a weightless feel, with elegant structure and fully ripe tannins, fresh red fruit, and a floral lift. Drink it over the next 6-8 years...From winemaker Michael Browne, also of CIRQ and co-founder of Kosta Browne, Chev currently produces only three wines, two from the Russian River Valley and now one Pinot Noir from Oregon." CHEV is a new Russian River Valley Pinot Noir from Michael Browne's Cirq label. The Chev 2018 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley has layers of black cherry, dark plum and lightly candied apple. A mouth-watering red-velvety texture, with lively acidity, a combination of soft and grippy tannins and a full mouth finish, centered on the mid-palate.
