Capiaux 2023 "Chimera" Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley zero_out_no_hide With fully 29 different bottlingsThe new Chimera from Capiaux is one of the finest Russian River Pinots out there for the money. Don't miss! 90 Points Vinous: " The Capiaux Pinot Noir Chimera is laced with crushed red berry, mint, orange peel and white pepper. This pliant, mid weight Pinot is all charm, as it often is. Its also a ridiculous value. Dark red purplish fruit, rose petal, lavender and sweet spice are nicely pushed forward in this supple, mid weight offering." Proprietor
