2022 STRATA PINOT NOIR
Inspired by the geological term for distinctive layers of soil, our STRATA Pinot Noir is a terroir-driven celebration of the Russian River Valley. Fittingly earthy on the nose, offering aromas of truffle, fig, anise, and saffron. The palate is smooth and alluringly deep, seamlessly layering notes of dark black cherry, blackberry and dried strawberry with hints of cola, mushroom, espresso, and delicate chocolate curls.

“The 2022 STRATA Pinot Noir is special to me because it’s
a perfect balance of terroir and winemaker influence. It’s an
earthy wine, balanced by fruit hints, good acidity, and a
delightfully velvet texture. I love pairing this Pinot Noir with
more earthy flavors, which gives it even more complexity,
allowing more of the fruit characteristic to shine.”
