Salmon off the grill, and this is the bottle for it. Rochioli, Bacigalupi and Hallberg fruit went into the 2023 blend — bright cherry, savory earth, a long spicy finish.

THE STORY

About this wine

Dry, medium-bodied Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, an appellation blend of the valley's top sites. Vibrant red cherry and rose petal over brown baking spice and cedar, then a broad palate of ripe red fruit, blood orange and savory earth on zesty acidity and fine tannins, finishing long and spicy.

Gary Farrell has explored the vineyards, people and places of the Russian River Valley since 1982; the winery says its approach is vineyard-driven Pinot Noir and Chardonnay made with balance, precision and restraint.

Worth knowing

The 2023 season ran so long and cool that harvest started and finished later than in any year on record. All that slow hang time at low temperature is where the flavor, structure and complexity come from.
