Description
A blend of two vineyards in the heart of this world-renowned Pinot Noir appellation: Baer Vineyard (60%) and Bacigalupi (40%). The sites are located less than a mile from one another and are bordered by Westside Road to their west and the Russian River to their east. This prime location lends itself to the classic Russian River Valley profile of red fruits and silky textures. The clonal makeup of the final blend includes Pommard, 115, 667 and 777. The 2023 vintage highlights the fruit intensity found in Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. The wine is profoundly aromatic and the red cherry, Santa Rosa plum and baking spice scents hint at the fruit and spice interplay that dances on the palate. The silky texture opens up to classic Russian River Valley Pinot Noir flavors of raspberry preserves, cranberry and notes of cinnamon and clove spice.
