Pinot Noir 750 ml
The 2023 Valravn Pinot Noir is rooted in the Russian River AVA (85%) with a selection of declassified barrels from our Sonoma Coast AVA Marine Layer project (10%) and a unique parcel from the high-elevation Mendocino Ridge AVA (5%).
Grapes are hand-harvested and sorted and cold-soaked in the cellar. Wild yeast fermentation occurs with about 20% whole cluster inclusion in small open-top stainless steel tanks. Following primary fermentation, the wine is racked to new (about 20%), second-use, and neutral French oak barrels, including François Freres and Remond, for malolactic conversion and eleven months of aging.
