Candied Bing cherry and fresh hibiscus aromas make this an immediately likable bottling by Jim Nantz and his team, while the star anise, gingerbread and sweet herb aromas add complexity. The palate is lively and fresh with more red fruit and flowers as well as cinnamon and wild chaparral spices, leading into a eucalyptus-oil-kissed finish.

"This wine is a prime example of an outstanding Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. Demonstrating dried herb notes, along with a mix of bright red fruit flavors and some deeper, darker notes, it lingers on the palate with just enough crisp acidity to make you want another glass."
-Adam Lee, Winemaker

 

 

 

A youthful and saturated ruby hue, the 2021 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is ripe and spicy, with aromas of fresh pine, cherry liqueur, and fresh wildflowers. Medium to full-bodied, with ample richness on the palate, it reveals notes of ripe berries, turned forest floor, and toasted baking spice, and it has a classic feel, with good structure and a long finish. Drink it over the next few years. 15,000 cases were produced.

Clean and likable aromas of black-cherry sorbet, light pepper and sumac are fresh and fun on the nose of this bottling. The palate is bright with ripe blackberry flavors, but a woody grip and vanilla-bean element on the midpalate ensures both quick pleasure and a long life
