Russian River Selection

2009 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

The Gary Farrell Russian River Selection is a delightful expression of Pinot Noir from the prestigious Russian River Valley. This wine showcases a medium body that strikes a perfect balance between elegance and richness. With bright acidity, it presents a refreshing liveliness that beautifully complements its vibrant fruit intensity, which offers a prominent profile of ripe cherries, raspberries, and subtle hints of spice. The tannins are notably soft, adding a gentle structure that enhances the overall mouthfeel without overpowering the graceful character of the wine. This delightful vintage is crafted to be dry, making it a wonderful pairing for a variety of dishes or a delightful indulgence on its own. Enjoy this lovely Pinot Noir with confidence, knowing it embodies the unique terroir of the Russian River Valley.

Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
