2023 Martinelli Bondi Home Ranch Vineyard Pinot Noir

Black cherry, wild plum, and cola are framed by notes of sassafras and warm clove. It is full and rounded through the middle, with fine tannins and enough acidity to give the dark fruit genuine lift.

Farmed without irrigation, hand-picked in early morning passes, and fermented with native yeasts. Ten months of aging in French oak barrel softens the tannin structure without obscuring the fruit.

Green Valley, a particularly cold and fog-heavy microclimate within the Russian River Valley. Slow heat accumulation here allows the grapes to reach full phenolics at moderate sugar levels, yielding concentrated fruit with natural tension.
