2023 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
2023 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
This wine showcases the beautiful expression of Pinot Noir when grown in the cool climate and loamy soils of the Russian River Valley. For our 2023 vintage, we blended five vineyards and several clones by selecting barrels from each distinct, separately fermented lot to create this elegant appellation wine. Wohler Vineyard provides classic red fruit and earthy notes from its site adjacent to the river. Riddle Vineyard, located in Green Valley, contributes nuance and complexity. Bucher Vineyard, located near Rochioli, adds structure and fresh fruit flavors. Small portions from the renowned Reuling and UV Laguna Vineyards balance the blend, lending intense aromas and silky tannins.

"A great wine at the entry level, the 2023 Sojourn Cellars ‘Russian River Valley’ Pinot Noir offers salty soils with tart cranberry and Yakima cherry flavors on the palate, with sage and lavender water notes. Nicely textured, showing good tension, enjoy now and over the next eight to ten years." - Owen Bargreen
