Product Description
The August West 2023 Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley is a beautifully balanced expression of coastal Sonoma Pinot: elegant, textural and vivid. It offers a bright core of red fruit, refined structure and a mineral-driven lift that make it both approachable now and worthy of short-term cellaring.
Origins & Craftsmanship
This 2023 vintage is crafted from a blend of 85% fruit from the esteemed Graham Family Vineyard and 15% from the Morris Ranch in the Russian River Valley AVA. The harvest came later than usual—grapes were picked in mid-October, reflecting a cool and extended season that enhanced ripeness and aromatic clarity. The wine was destemmed and fermented, then aged for approximately 10 months in French oak barrels (about 20% new), allowing the fruit to shine with subtle oak support and a vibrantly structured frame.
Tasting Profile
Nose: Opens with wild strawberry, red cherry and raspberry, layered with subtle mint leaf, forest-floor loam and soft floral notes of violet.
Palate: Medium-bodied yet concentrated—bright red berry and cranberry fruit are joined by hints of red plum, spice (clove, white pepper) and a core of fine chalky tannins. A cool mineral thread adds length.
Finish: The finish is clean and lingering, the red fruit fades gently into savory herb-brush and a final burst of red-berry skin and fine tannin that leaves the palate energised.
