The Private Reserve wines are the ultimate wines within the portfolio; limited in production, sourced from the finest vineyards in Sonoma County and from appellations best suited for a specific varietal given the dramatic diversity in climatic and soil conditions across the County.
The Private Reserve Pinot Noir hails from the renowned Russian River Valley, a region celebrated for producing wines of elegance and complexity. Influenced by cooling coastal fog, this cool-climate appellation yields Pinot Noir with vibrant acidity, expressive aromatics, and layers of juicy red fruit.
