Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
A little shy initially, this unfiltered wine opens up to
alluring aromas of cherry cola, with crushed
pomegranate seed, dried black tea and hints of
orange peel zest dusted with shaved cocoa, lilac petal
and sweet forest.
The freshness on the entry reveals flavors of candied
red fruits and oolong tea leaf, swiftly
counterbalanced by an intriguing umami element
that lingers on the finish.
Vineyard Notes
The 2020 growing reason provided only half our
average annual rainfall, but the resulting fruit we
harvested from the esteemed Calegari Vineyard
produced the full beauty and complex character we
expect to create our classic and revered Russian River
Pinot Noir.
Winemaker Notes
This wine is just starting to show its layers of detail
and will drink best over the next 5-8 years.
