2020 hope & grace Pinot Noir

Russian River Valley

Pinot Noir is one of the world’s most elusive and captivating varietals ...delicate in nature, demanding in the vineyard, and capable of extraordinary beauty when grown in the right place. Only a handful of wine regions across the globe have truly mastered it, and among them, Russian River Valley stands at the pinnacle.

Shaped by cool Pacific fog, gentle breezes, and long sunlit afternoons, this celebrated region offers the ideal balance of freshness, ripeness, and complexity. Diverse soil compositions and a temperate growing season allow Pinot Noir to develop remarkable depth while preserving the elegance and nuance that make the varietal so compelling.

Part of our Food & Wine Adventurers Series, this limited-production Pinot Noir was crafted for those who appreciate wines with both intrigue and soul.

Winemaker Notes: Complex aromas envelop the senses with layers of wild strawberry, pomegranate, ripe cherry, and dark chocolate, intertwined with delicate hints of bergamot tea, sweet baking spice, white pepper, sage, and cedar. On the palate, rich red fruit and savory spice unfold gracefully across a silky texture, leading to a long, velvety finish. Both intriguing and quietly sultry, this Pinot Noir invites you to slow down, savor each glass, and enjoy with intention.
