2023 Pinot Noir, Valravn
A juicy, complex wine with persistent flavors of Luxardo cherries, strawberry compote, and spicy, floral notes. The Sonoma Coast parcels show the typical crunchy red fruits, while the Russian River fruit gives the briary bramble, all accented with spice from the whole cluster inclusion. It is an unctuous wine with a weighty palate, excellent balance, and texture.

Vinous
The 2023 Pinot Noir (Sonoma County) is another magnificent value from Valravn. Bold, rich and punchy, with tremendous verve, the 2023 offers a stunning mix of intense, forward fruit and brisk acids. Rose petal, lavender, mint and purplish fruit linger.
