The Quintessential Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes: The ‘Wester Reach’ Profile

• Color: Medium to deep ruby-purple.
• Aroma: A highly perfumed and intense nose of black cherry, wild raspberry, and spiced plum, with soaring secondary notes of rose petal, spearmint, and savory black tea.
• Palate: Medium-bodied, sleek, and focused. The core of pure red and black fruit is supported by a vibrant line of coastal acidity and fine, silky tannins, lending a weightless yet persistent texture. The finish is long, laced with elegant spice and a hint of earthy minerality.

Pairing & Service Recommendations

The Wester Reach Pinot Noir is versatile, pairing beautifully with both white and red meats. Decant for an hour to fully unlock its complexity if enjoying young. Serve slightly cool (60-64°F / 15-17°C) to highlight its cool-climate freshness. This wine is built for longevity, offering positive evolution over the next 10-12 years.
