The Pinot Project Pinot Noir 2021

"The natural abundance of the San Luis Obispo Coast is expressed in every glass with exceptional flavor. Vibrant red cherry and ripe strawberry notes intertwine with hints of vanilla and spice, creating a harmonious flavor profile. The velvety texture and lingering finish are enhanced by a deep concentration of darker fruits." —winemaker

"This wine is bright and complex with notes of red cherry, pomegranate, and cedar on the palate, with fresh raspberry aromas and a long, silky finish." —winemaker

"The 2022 Valravn Pinot Noir is a juicy, complex wine with rich raspberry compote, clove, and cedar spice scents. The Sonoma Coast parcels show the typical crunchy red fruits, while the Russian River fruit gives the briary bramble, all accented with spice from the whole cluster components. An unctuous palate weight balances flavors of framboise and wild berries. The wine has excellent complexity and plays in a category far above its modest price point." —winemaker

The finish is long and luscious with a touch of minerality." —winemaker
