Russian River Valley Split

375ml - 2022 Pinot Noir - 3 Bottle Minimum

Russian River Valley Split

375ml - 2022 Pinot Noir - 3 Bottle Minimum

This wine offers an elegant array of red berries, cranberries, and cherry cola, complemented by savory spices and a hint of black tea. The nose is uplifted by a sweet and spicy vanilla note from the oak barrels, enhancing its fresh earthiness. On the palate, this Pinot Noir is beautifully structured with smooth, fine tannins that underscore the warm spices and vibrant red berry flavors. Balanced medium acidity and a juicy, vibrant core lead to a medium-length finish, making this wine a perfect representation of the Russian River Valley’s finesse and complexity.

Minimum Order of 3 Bottles.

About this Wine

Russian River Valley Split

Our Owsley and Vine Hill vineyards in the Russian River Valley provided the Pinot Noir for this vintage. The Owsley ranch, with its dramatic temperature changes from warm days to cool, foggy nights, creates concentrated and complex flavors in the grapes. Vine Hill vineyard, with its more than 400-feet elevation change, allows each ridge, slope, and valley in the vineyard to contribute unique characteristics to the grapes. Combined with a variety of soils and clones, high-density spacing and rootstocks that limit excessive vine growth, the vineyards provide a beautiful variety of elegant fruit. It is from this fruit that we craft our Sonoma-Cutrer Russian River Valley Pinot Noir.

Appellation

Russian River Valley

The Russian River Valley is one of the pinnacle areas for Pinot Noirs, known for making rich and flavorful, world-class Pinot Noir.

Why is this? One of the many reasons is the fog. Every day the fog is drawn in from the Pacific Ocean and can decrease the air temperature by as much as 40 degrees. This creates a cooler growing temperature that high quality Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes require and gives the wines a touch more natural acidity for balance and complexity. Try Sonoma-Cutrer’s Russian River Valley Pinot Noir that exemplify the exceptional quality of fruit grown in the Russian River Valley.

Virtual Swirl

Virtual Swirl

Tasting wine begins well before the liquid ever touches your lips – it starts with a look, a swirl, and an intake of breath. The swirl serves to open your vintage and introduces oxygen which creates a bouquet of aromas and allows you to gauge viscosity and alcohol content. Our Russian River Valley’s swirl showcases its deep rosewood coloring indicative of a finely developed pinot noir and highlights aromas of cola and cassis with a touch of those classic red fruit flavors and a barrel spice.
