Description
The selected Pinot Noir grapes for this wine from Frei Brothers were destemmed, but not crushed, to retain a significant portion of whole berries for fermentation. After a two-day cold soak, fermentation began giving the wine a breadth and depth of aromas and flavors. Following malolactic fermentation, this Pinot Noir wine was aged for 10 months in a combination of French, Hungarian and American oak barrels.

Sommelier Review
Michael Leitner“Pale to medium ruby-purple colored, the 2015 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley has simple red currants and red cherries notes with a touch of garrigue. The palate is medium to full-bodied with innocuous red berry notions in the mouth and a soft texture.”
