Pedroncelli Pinot Noir

Russian river valley sources: the fruit for our pinot noir comes from four growers spread over the northern area of the russian river valley. The frank johnson vineyard continues as a source of pinot noir spanning 30 years and is combined with three other growers: harrich lynzabeth and brooks all within a few miles of each other. Pinot noir grown in the cool climate of the russian river valley in sonoma county is regularly influenced by the intrusion of cooling evening fog from the pacific ocean a few miles to the west. This natural air-conditioning allows the grapes to develop full flavor maturity over an extended growing season while retaining the all-important natural acidity. Combined with a diverse complexity of soil types along with the vineyard sources creates a wine that reflects all the best of this growing region.
