Bright fruit aromas of cranberry, pomegranate, and wild ripe berries blend beautifully with a palate that hints of sweet spice, a flinty minerality, and a distinctive fresh earth quality. Open and expressive in its youth, the 2015 will expand and age beautifully for years to come.
The 2015 Pinot Noir from Russian River is a blend from two vineyards that both lie at approximately 700 feet above sea level, near Occidental. Both are planted in Goldridge soils. The vines are trained on a vertical trellis system (VSP) on north eastern facing slopes that offer protection from the hot summer afternoon sun.
