2017 Charlie Clay Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley   

Our inaugural vintage of our Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is uncluttered by manipulative techniques. Its pure expression of high-toned red fruit, Asian spice, and violet petal dance beautifully from the glass. Sweet red cherry and earth tones marry seamlessly with perfectly positioned tannins and nuances of toasted oak. Still in its youth, this wine is just starting to reveal layers of complexity and energy. This wine will drink best over the next 6-10 years and age gracefully for many more after that.
