2024 Russian River Pinot Noir

$27.00

River Road Vineyard (Russian River Valley, Sonoma County) – Old Block planting of Clone 115, established in 2002. Rooted in Zamora silty clay loam, cooled nightly by fog drifting in off the Pacific. Farmed with organic practices (not certified).

Destemmed and fermented in tank then pressed to used French oak barrels and aged for 11 months. A single sulfur addition was made just after malolactic fermentation. No other additions, corrections, or manipulations.

This is Pinot stripped down to its bones — light, nervy, and energetic, yet still packing a punch. It’s Russian River without the gloss: precise, food-loving, and honest. Roast chicken and grilled salmon are naturals, but it’ll dance just as easily with tacos, pizza, or mushroom risotto.

A new wine for us, grown close to Guerneville where you can almost smell the river in the glass. Serious but fresh, still punk, but hinting at a shift — a glimpse of where our style is heading.

Unfiltered, unfined, alive and honest.
