Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
Sourced from premier vineyards in the Russian River Valley, this Pinot Noir exemplifies the region’s ability to produce elegant wines. The cool, maritime influences of these sites allow for slow, even ripening, resulting in vibrant acidity, delicate red fruit flavors, and a refined sense of terroir.
Winemaker Notes
Our process begins with fermentation in stainless steel, where we employ pumpovers and punch downs to build layers of flavor. This is followed by malolactic fermentation and 12 months of aging in French oak, adding further depth and complexity. A single racking ensures a clean, polished wine, allowing the subtle nuances to shine.
Food Pairing Notes
Pair with cedar-plank salmon or herb-driven vegetable dishes, where the wine’s acidity and subtle earth tones complement the food’s depth and texture.
