2019 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

Winemaker's Notes
This classic Russian River Pinot Noir leads with vibrant red cherry, strawberry, and pomegranate aromas. Aged in 30% new French oak for ten months, this medium-bodied Pinot Noir opens up with aromas of rhubarb, wet stone, and subtle notes of savory spices. Lingering flavors of raspberry and cocoa powder are wrapped in elegant tannins.

Production Notes
The fruit was de-stemmed, and whole berries were transferred to open-top fermenters to capture bright fruit aromas and flavors. After a five-day cold soak, the tanks were warmed, allowing the juice to ferment naturally. The tanks were punched down 2-3 times per day for ten days allowing skin contact for color and flavor extraction. The wine was drained off the skins and placed in 30% new French barrels.
