Juggernaut Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2021

"The 2021 Pinot Noir is sourced from dry farmed vineyards in the Umpqua Valley and Willamette Valley. 100% Open top fermented with 25% whole cluster this wine bursts out of the glass with raspberry and cherry fruits, toast and spice with a hint of black cherry. The mouthfeel is silky and elegant, fine tannins with mouthwatering acidity." —winemaker

"The wine owes much of its complexity to its varied upbringing, unifying grapes from California's most notable winegrowing regions. Meiomi Pinot Noir brings you structure and depth seldom seen in a Pinot Noir wine, thanks to its unique and meticulous aging process. Aged for six months in French oak barrels, this California red wine's juicy strawberry flavor and notes of dark berries and toasted mocha add complexity and depth on the palate." —winemaker

"Light ruby-red. Aromas of fresh red berries, cologne, autumn leaves, crushed rock, and pungent moss lead. A soft palate follows packing plenty of flavor into each sip. Strawberry, raspberry and cherry are accented by tanned leather, fines herbes, and cinnamon." —winemaker

"Fragrant and floral aromas of hibiscus and dried rose petal combined with bright cherry, dried cranberry, and just a hint of black licorice, are expressed in this classic Oregon Pinot Noir. A medium bodied entry instantly pleases and leads to a silky mid palate carried by dried Bing cherry, black tea, with light sandalwood and cedar notes. Well balanced, this wine’s body is supported by youthful yet integrated tannin and moderate acidity that lingers into a medium long finish." —winemaker

"Siduri explores two exceptional areas within Santa Barbara County that are exceptionally well - suited for growing Pinot Noir - Santa Maria Valley and the Sta. Rita Hills. Pinot Noirs from the Santa Maria Valley provide "crunchy" fresh fruits that are laden with spice notes, while Pinot Noirs from the Sta. Rita Hills provide opulent red and black fruits that jump from the glass with tremendous energy. The marriage of these two distinctive growing areas provides a portrait of a beautiful place to grow cool - climate Pinot Noir." —winemaker

"At this early stage the aromatics show a generous number of dark fruits like cherry, black plum and pomegranate concentrate, with a buried treasure chest of spices circling your senses. Then, it’s the palate that belies the true depth of this rich Pinot Noir. A delightful gallimaufry of Luxor cherries, red cranberry compote, strawberry leather, black currant, mission fig, and prickly pear jam is layered into spiced Sichuan peppercorn, petrichor, and Christmas spice. This wine has a most generous middle "sweetness," and depth that pipes into a long, rich, sanded tannin finish." —winemaker

"The 2022 vintage was spectacular in the Willamette Valley, as is reflected in this dense, supple and flat-out delicious Planet Oregon Pinot Noir. The aromatics captivate with chocolate and fresh berry scents; the smooth, rich palate brings those flavors along with orange peel, pie cherries and sweet toast." —winemaker

"The A to Z Oregon Pinot Noir has complexity and depth resulting from diverse sourcing across Western Oregon’s dynamic growing regions. Over 70 vineyard sites with different microclimates and soil types contribute to the layered nuancing in this classic Oregon Pinot Noir. Great for Pinot Noir lovers or those new to Pinot Noir or Oregon wine." —winemaker

"Brilliant crimson in color, Raeburn Sonoma County Pinot Noir leads with pleasing aromas of berry pie, lavender and vanilla. The palate is marked with fresh fruit flavors of lush wild blueberry, raspberry, and cherry with undertones of roasted hazelnut. The finish is graceful and sophisticated." —winemaker

"Deep garnet in color with abundant aromas of dark chocolate, black cherry, and blackberry pie with hints of black currant and cedar. There are layered flavors of blackberry and raspberry pie filling on the palate, accompanied by notes of cinnamon, chocolate, and nutmeg. This wine is smooth and focused with refined tannins and a mouthwatering finish." —winemaker
