Sonoma County's Russian River Valley crafts beautiful pinot noir. Its cooler climate, heavy fog, and proximity to the influences of the Pacific Ocean provide the ideal growing conditions for this noble grape. RRV Pinots are elegant displays of fruit, with underlying earthy notes. 

Sonoma-Cutrer is a testament to the people, practices, and land all working in unison to uphold the time-honored tradition of winemaking. For over 50 years, the winery has married Burgundian traditions with Californian ingenuity and a deep appreciation for the Sonoma Valley's remarkable terroir to craft world-class wines.*

The 2022 Sonoma-Cutrer Russian River Valley Pinot Noir was aged in one-third each of new, one-year, and two-year-old French oak barrels for 11 months before bottling. It offers an elegant array of red berries, cranberries, and cherry cola complemented by savory spices and a hint of black tea. The nose is uplifted by sweet and spicy vanilla notes from the oak barrels, enhancing its fresh earthiness. On the palate, it is beautifully structured with smooth, fine tannins that underscore the warm spices and vibrant red berry flavors. Balanced medium acidity and a juicy, vibrant core lead to a medium-length finish, making this wine a perfect representation of the Russian River Valley’s finesse and complexity.*

Press:
93 points, James Suckling:
"Perfumed and vibrant aromas of wild raspberries, hibiscus, sweet spices, and cassia bark. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and bright acidity, giving notes of blackberries, dark cherries, dried herbs, and chalk. Very refined and pure. Drink or hold."
