Russian River Valley


Vintage Notes

No question about it, 2023 is a vintage for the decade. Cooler spring temperatures delayed bud break with verasion arriving as late as August in some vineyard sites. This shifted harvest later into the fall, requiring even more meticulous farming practices. While this made for a more challenging year, the prolonged growing season allowed for deep and complex flavors to develop. We can’t believe we’re saying this…2023 may best the incredible vintages of 2021 and 2022.

Winemaker Notes

“Pale ruby-purple colored, the 2023 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir offers up notes of raspberry leaves, cranberries, and pine resin, giving way to notes of lavender oil and spearmint. Full-bodied, the palate has a compelling suggestion of chewiness to the texture with just enough freshness to lift the red berry and savory flavors to a long finish.”
