The 2023 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley boasts a youthful ruby red hue and has a darker profile shining through with wet stones, cherry liqueur, black raspberry, pine needles, and fresh wildflowers. The palate is medium to full-bodied and has mouthwatering, fresh acidity, refined, ripe tannins, and a long finish. In the cellar, all the Pinot Noirs saw 25% whole clusters across the range. Drink 2025-2037.

The 2023 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley was blended from several vineyards and matured for 11 months in 41% new French oak. It has layered scents of strawberry, raspberry, woodsmoke, dried flowers, bitters and citrus. The medium-bodied palate offers concentrated, nuanced flavors framed by fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity, and it has a long, spicy finish. It will benefit from some time in a decanter. 3,755 cases were made.

Nimble and playful aromas of raspberry coulis, rose petal and shiitake bounce around the glass on the nose of this Pinot. The palate brings flavors of concentrated cherry, cedar, cocoa powder, cinnamon and orange peel that vibrate on the finish.

Combines the punchy cherry and pomegranate fruit of the Russian River Valley with the clarity, breeziness and focus of this stellar vintage. Hibiscus and blood orange zest notes add length to the charming, streamlined finish. Drink now through 2030. 3,755 cases made.
