DESCRIPTION
The key to our Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is in the diversity of sources. This sounds odd, given that the wine comes entirely from within the Russian River Valley AVA, but this region is large and possesses a myriad of soils, exposures, and unique terroirs that together produce a superb representation of the whole of the Russian River Valley. This Pinot Noir offering showcases this area in all its complexity while also making for a red wine that is imminently drinkable upon release.

"
While this is Siduri's 'regular' Pinot, it's a real standout. Charming fruit and spice aromas seem perfectly aligned with the complex, layered, intricate flavors that follow. The wine is firm textured, concentrated and impressive, offering everything from bright raspberries to rich black cherries to cedar and clove accents. Best from 2025-2032."

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!
