ABOUT THIS WINE:
Sonoma-Cutrer
Pinot Noir
For this beautiful Pinot, the grapes are picked by hand early each morning into small bins and hand-sorted before a gentle destemming. The wine is gently pressed and racked into the barrels. The Pinot Noir is aged French oak. After resting for almost a year, the final blend was assembled and then evolved in the bottle for an additional six months. This wine has a beautiful, rich ruby-purple hue and dark fruit flavors. There are hints of complexity that sneak through like tea, earth, and a beautiful acidity.
NOTE: This is NOT a Firstleaf Exclusive Wine.
Due to state registrations, we cannot ship this wine to AL, AZ, CO, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, MD, ME, MI, MO, NJ, NV, NY, OH, PA, SD, TX, VT, WA.ABOUT THIS WINE

WINE REGION:
Russian River Valley
Prized for its elegant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Sonoma's Russian River Valley is one of California's premier AVAs for cool-climate wines. Blessed with the Petaluma Gap—a break in the coastal mountains where chill, foggy air blows in from the Pacific—the valley also benefits from the effects of the Russian River itself. This draws cool Pacific Ocean air inland and creates blanketing fogs that veil the vineyards throughout the chilly mornings. The result is one of the state's longest and coolest growing seasons. Bracing acidity and complex flavors characterize wines from this region, which also includes excellent sparklers made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
