Toads Hollow Rods Pride 2004 Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley

Risqué’s renowned grasp has been well perfected and his reach towards Rods Pride is evidence of his mastery. His grip on the bottle and stem held firm to the last drop.

Risqué’s adoration towards anything French was heightened on learning that Rod was once a dancer in Paris… go tell! “The label pays tribute to Rod’s youthful days as a dancer in Paris and on Broadway. The back label shows (Rod) in “full leap” (…go tell!) and the front label is the “Toad Reflection”. Rod believed that wine was the perfect blend of the earth and the arts.”

With a clear sparkling raspberry hue, Rod’s Pride emanates Pinot Noir juices with huge delicious tart cherry, pomegranate, old fashion violet, exotic vanilla, sweet spice and an earthy mushroom essence. The lush’s mouth taste shadows the tart cherry, pomegranate and mushroom nose and offer a zesty bright orange peel climax.

Risqué devoured an Irish cheddar, gruyere, caramelized onions and tomato grilled panini along with Rod’s Pride. For those that are wondering Risqué suckled on Rod’s Pride at Sportsman’s Fine Wine and Spirits in Phoenix, Arizona.

Leap now and grasp Rod’s Pride!!!
