"
From the Russian River Valley, the 2023 Pinot Noir Parsons Vineyard comes from the first vineyard picked and pours a jeweled ruby color. The nose delivers notes of cherry cordial, fresh, sappy forest herbs, fresh pine, and pressed flowers. It fills the palate with a more saturating feel, with a rounded midpalate, broader, ripe tannins, and a clean, fruity finish. It’s juicy and inviting but has some rich structure as well with a more forested feel. Drink 2025-2037."

Russian River Valley

WELL-DRAINED SOILS, NEIGHBORHOOD DIVERSITY, COLA NOTES FOR DAYS

Winemaker’s Favorite Aspect:

There are so many ways to express the Russian River Valley through the diversity of microclimates and soil types—it’s a huge sandbox to play in.

Climate:

Warm days and foggy nights

Regional Overview:

Sub-AVAs and neighborhoods have different expressions, but the common themes are cola notes, richness, and soft tannins.

FOOD PAIRINGS:

Beef “Osso Buco” with porcini mushrooms is a superb match for the richer, weightier style of our Russian River Valley. Sauteed mushrooms and Russian River Pinot Noir are already a classic combo, and this pairing steps it up in a major way!
