A youthful bright red color, the 2023 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is consistently one of my favorite appellation wines, and this one does not disappoint. The nose has refined spice, a floral rosy perfume, and notes of fresh red cherries, fresh mossy earth, and river rock. The palate is medium-bodied and has fantastic elegance and finesse, with pure fresh fruit and fine tannins, with just a lovely lift of spice on the finish Drink 2025-2037.

The 2023 Pinot Noir Estate bursts from the glass with scents of cranberry, blackberry, juniper, Fernet and forest floor. The medium-bodied palate is open and inviting. Waves of spicy fruit are delivered in a silky texture and energized by vibrant acidity, and it has a very long, nuanced finish.

A polished, silky, pretty and streamlined version, redolent of blood orange, warmed peach, bitter cherry and damson plum fruit. Offers light accents of savory and rose petal for perfume, with a lingering sandalwood edge on the tail end. Drink now through 2030. 2,995 cases made.

A lovely mix of cranberries, Bing cherries, red licorice, red fruit and spices on the nose. The juicy center is framed by minerality, flower petals and gentle wood. Fresh, delicious and very drinkable. Medium-bodied. Drink or hold.
