Already recognized as one of the finest Burgundian regions in the world, the renowned Russian River Valley is at the center of the Pinot Noir explosion. However, there is a dirty little secret. With the increase in demand, over zealous wineries planted Pinot Noir vines in some areas that may not be…perfectly ideal. We believe we know these micro-climates where the varietal not only thrives, but achieves its ultimate potential. Meaning, the elegance is perfectly in harmony with the complexity. It’s a wine that has a unique sophistication and grace. Our Winemaster has the expertise and knowledge to embrace what the grapes are offering and neatly wrap this perfect harmony for your ultimate indulgence.
“A lush, rich Pinot full of blackberry, black cherry fruit flavors with a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg spices. Soft French oak nuances layered with vanilla and dark berry aromas create a pleasant and inviting nose. Drink now or wait for the dimensions of tannin to gracefully integrate adding more depth of flavors.”
