Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Exotic and enticing. Raspberry Jolly Rancher candy with notes of Earl Gray tea. Restrained, yet focused. This Pinot Noir enters the palate with notes of dried cranberry & cherry with a hint of smoke and a touch of orange zest. The midpalate excites your senses with juicy, creamy red fruit. All of which leads to a long cola, raspberry and cherry finish.

    Chewy and extracted, with complex, understated flavors of spice, tea and dried berry. Maintains its tannic muscle.—Kosta Browne non-blind vertical (March 2011). Drink now through 2016. 724 cases made.

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.
