    Winemaker Notes

    The 2006 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir exhibits the full potential of our vineyards and the unique terroir of our region. Aromas of bright red cherries radiate, followed by subtle notes of damp earth, mushrooms, liquorish and spices. A fat entry and broad mouthfeel engulf the palate with flavors of cherries, raspberries, strawberries, and a lingering finish of cola and oak. This striking Pinot Noir stands up beautifully with Lamb Shish Kebabs on your summer grill.

    J's 2006 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is an elegant composition of wines made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes sourced from our Estate Vineyards as well as from selected growers in the Russian River Valley appellation.

    "Light cherry and cinnamon aromas with a hint of citrus peel. Delicate cherry, strawberry and new oak flavors offer a core of brown spice and fine-grain tannins. A charming, well-made Pinot with a staircase of flavors that continue to climb in the finish."

    While the Russian River Valley is a large appellation with multiple climate zones and soil types, it is best known for cool-climate varieties, with Pinot Noir as the most celebrated. The grapes benefit from a reliable late afternoon flow of Pacific Ocean fog through the Petaluma Gap and along the Russian River Valley that ensures slow and steady ripening and the preservation of grape acidity. Today many of California’s most highly regarded Pinot Noir vineyards are in the Russian River Valley, along with its sub-appellation, Green Valley.

    Historically Russian River Valley Pinot Noirs had bright red fruit and delicate earthy, mineral notes. But changes in viticultural and winemaking practices have led to stylistic changes in some of the region’s wines. Adjustments to canopy management, among other techniques, have resulted in riper fruit and bolder wines as well. These show flavors of black cherry, blackberry, cola, spice and darker, loamy earth tones, accenting traditional Pinot Noir notes of strawberry, raspberry and light cherry.
