2023 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
Smooth, expressive and beautifully balanced, this classic Russian River Valley Pinot Noir offers lingering fruit notes of black cherry, blueberry, blackberry and strawberry preserves that layer with rich hints of chocolate shavings, supple leather and toasted vanilla. Pair with mushroom and Gruyère toast points or grilled salmon.
2023 Foggy Bend
Pinot Noir
An aromatic blend of dark fruit and the coastal redwood forest opens on this expressive Pinot Noir. The plush, velvet-smooth palate showcases black cherry, fig, blueberry and raspberry notes, backed by spicier nuances of cinnamon, clove and a hint of black pepper culminating in a long, exquisite finish. Pair with Estate Chef Forest Kellogg’s Lamb Kofta with Spiced Yogurt Sauce and Couscous (see recipe video below).
2024 ESTATE PINOT GRIS
Subtle hints of honeysuckle and white florals on the nose are layered on the palate with fruit-forward notes of ripe pear, tangerine and quince. A refreshing touch of lime zest and minerality on the finish adds a delightfully crisp contrast to the bright, full mouthfeel. Pair with roasted chicken or feta salad.
2016 Late Disgorged Vintage Brut
Offering complexity, elegance and depth of flavor, the wine opens with a pleasant, fragrant mix of Mediterranean herbs and florals, known as garrigue. The vibrant palate adds notes of fresh-cut citrus, Asian pear, green apple and brambly blackberry that intricately layer with hints of toasted almond, rich brioche and crisp sea spray. Try with seared shrimp or lemon meringue pie.

Pair with 2023 Foggy Bend Pinot Noir
“Foggy Bend Pinot Noir always pairs well with earthy proteins like lamb.
The wine’s subtle spice and well-integrated fruit notes are a perfect complement
to the flavorful, savory lamb and apricot-spiked couscous. The yogurt and herbs
match the acidity of the wine and reveal a complex herbal note in the mid palate.”
— Estate Chef Forest Kellogg
