WINE DESCRIPTION
Valravn Pinot Noir is predominantly sourced from the Russian River AVA, with Sonoma Coast fruit contributing a nuanced balance. A synergy of hand-sorted grapes initiates a cold soak, leading to primary fermentation in small open-top stainless steel tanks, incorporating 25% whole clusters for complexity. After primary, the wine gracefully ages in a selection of French oak barrels, featuring esteemed cooperages like François Freres, Remond, and Rousseau, with 20% being new. Over ten months, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation, resulting in a harmonious and expressive Pinot Noir that captures the essence of both Russian River and Sonoma Coast terroirs.

The finish is pleasing and lingering, with subtle notes of herbs, spices, and oak. Enjoy this delightful Pinot Noir with your favorite grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
