2023 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

The 2023 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir captures the vintage’s signature freshness and making this entry-level Pinot Noir an impressive representation of the Russian River Valley’s timeless elegance. A vibrant reflection of the long season, this release displays crisp red fruit and high-toned botanical notes, plus a glowing ruby red color. Notes of red cherry, cranberry, and rose petal are elevated by a fresh, tangy mouthfeel and subtle earthy undertones. The extended season allowed us to harvest beautifully mature grapes, while a modest 25% whole-cluster fermentation contributes to the wine’s delicate floral aromatics and fine-grained texture. Framed by just 20% new French oak, the wine retains its bright and approachable character, offering complexity without compromising drinkability.
