Russian River Valley (California Pinot Noir)

Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is California's fog-cooled Sonoma benchmark for the grape: a generous, silky red that keeps Pinot's translucent colour, bright acidity and low tannin but fills it out with riper, warmer fruit. Cool Pacific fog that pours nightly up the Russian River from the Petaluma Gap slows ripening on sandy Goldridge soils, giving wines of plush black cherry and raspberry laced with cola, baking spice and a supple, plush texture.
