Our 2023 Russian River Pinot Noir is from 3 vineyards in the Russian River Valley.
Bommersbach Vineyard is a warmer site on Westside Rd. If offers the cherry cola flavors in the wine.
Bode Vineyard on Olivet Rd in the Santa Rosa Plane. It provides the silky middle of the wine and darker fruit flavors.
Tamal Vineyard in the Sebastopol Hills. It is a colder site, with a vortex of fog rolling in from the Petaluma Gap every day during the growing season. It is responsible for the floral and spice notes in the wine. The clones are 115, Calera, 2A and Mariafeld.
