ABOUT THIS WINE | Our Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is curated from our Estate vineyards throughout the Russian River Valley appellation. This wine mirrors the special distinctions that this viticultural area has on a wine due to the climate, proximity to the ocean and soil profile, in combination with our family’s trademark farming style and dedication to crafting the highest quality wines true to where they are grown. | ||||||||||||||||
GROWING YEAR INFO | When we look back at the 2023 growing season there are two words that perfectly describe the vintage – late and big. After an exceptionally wet and cool winter, bud break happened over a month later than average. Our first day of picking was the day after the harvest completed the previous year. Fruit set was excellent and the temps during the summer were moderate to cool, with very few days in the triple digits. What a contrast from 2022! Mild temperatures along with abundantly available water allowed the clusters to develop slowly and evenly. | ||||||||||||||||

Tasting Notes | Richly aromatic, featuring raspberry preserves, dark cherry, and tobacco leaf. The palate is juicy and full-bodied, showcasing amarena cherries and wild raspberries. Silky tannins provide balance and structure, while a note of dark chocolate shavings adds depth to the finish, making this a particularly memorable vintage. | ||||||||||||||||
