2018 Foggy Bend Vineyard Pinot Noir
Generously aromatic, our Foggy Bend Vineyard Pinot Noir shows off something special from the first, fragrant swirl. The wine opens with rich, expressive notes of blueberry, hibiscus, forest floor, freshly-turned earth and pine needles, a hallmark of Foggy Bend Pinot Noir. With brightness and acidity from Foggy Bend Vineyard’s site alongside the cool, misty banks of the Russian River, this is a wine that can age gracefully for several years after release. On the layered palate, black tea, red cherry, pomegranate and huckleberry notes blend with hints of savory spice, sage and pine.

Spicy tea and clove combine around a concentrated core of blueberry and toast in this rich, unctuous and darkly fruited wine. Concentrated at the beginning, it evolves to find a velvety silkiness that reaches a lengthy finish of oak.

There's rich spiciness to the burnished mix of dried cherry and raspberry flavors, flanked by plenty of cedary accents. Fresh acidity lingers on the finish, with plush underbrush notes. Drink now through 2025. 500 cases made.
