Blended from three of the most coveted vineyards in the Russian River Valley, the 2022 vintage was marked by near-perfect weather conditions. Aromas of fresh raspberry compote are complemented by notes of baking spice, and fresh rain on a forest floor. Generous-yet-soft strawberry preserve flavors expand on the palate, with elegant, silky tannins. A mouthwatering acidity glides across the finish.

Early budbreak and perfect summer weather led to a mid-August Pinot Noir harvest, finishing with Sebastopol Hills' cooler sites.
Early budbreak and near-perfect summer weather allowed us to start picking Russian River Pinot Noir in mid-August. Our Amber Ridge vineyard in the warmer middle reach area was first, followed by Green Valley and Laguna Ridge sites in late August. A Labor Day heat wave accelerated the harvest, continuing across the Russian River Valley. We finished the season with fruit from the cooler Sebastopol Hills neighborhood, completing a successful and well-timed harvest.

“A medium-bodied, supple and delicate pinot noir with aromas of cranberries, cherries, white pepper and fine herbs. Succulent, fruit-driven and crunchy, with a delicious finish. Drink or hold.”
