The Story
Sonoma-Cutrer Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2022 is a refined and expressive California red, highlighting the elegance of this cool-climate region. It pours a brilliant ruby color and opens with perfumed aromas of wild raspberry, hibiscus, and sweet baking spices, layered with subtle hints of cassia bark. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with vibrant flavors of blackberry, dark cherry, and dried herbs, supported by fine, silky tannins and bright acidity. The texture is smooth and polished, leading to a pure, balanced finish with a delicate chalky minerality.
Food Pairing: Grilled salmon, herb-roasted chicken, mushroom risotto, duck breast, or roasted pork tenderloin.
