Baked black cherry and plum aromas dominate the nose of this native-yeast-fermented Pinot. There's pleasing freshness and complexity to the palate, with some snappy tannin and a broad, cherry-berry driven profile. The finish presents a balance between the riper fruits, drying tannin and some juicy acidity.
WInemaker Note
This wine vividly expresses the unique terroir of the Russian River Valley, with intense red fruit aromas and silky tannins. In 2022, we combined wines primarily from four outstanding vineyards to produce this beautiful appellation blend. Bucher Vineyard, near Rochioli, offers deep fruit flavors and rich texture. UV Laguna Vineyard adds a layer of blue fruit and intensity. Wohler Vineyard, residing adjacent to the river, provides red fruit and earthy notes. Riddle Vineyard, located in Green Valley, adds structure and complexity. With lower yields came excellent concentration and structure. This Pinot Noir is fresh and balanced with expressive layers of red fruit aromas that lead to a lush finish.
