Crafted from 100% Pinot Noir grown in Sonoma County's celebrated Russian River Valley AVA, the ANZA 2024 Pinot Noir reflects the elegance, purity, and finesse that define this renowned cool-climate region. The 2024 vintage benefited from abundant winter rains, a cool spring, and mild summer temperatures, allowing the fruit to ripen slowly while preserving vibrant acidity and aromatic intensity. Aged for 10 months in French oak barrels, 35% new, this limited-production Pinot Noir offers bright red fruit, refined structure, and a beautifully balanced finish. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar through 2032+.

Winemaking & Vineyard
The fruit for the ANZA 2024 Pinot Noir was sourced from the Russian River Valley AVA in Sonoma County, where cool coastal fog, Pacific breezes, and a long growing season create ideal conditions for producing elegant, expressive Pinot Noir. A combination of Goldridge sandy loam, gravelly loam, and clay loam soils contributes balance, complexity, and a distinctive sense of place, while sustainable farming practices promote soil health, biodiversity, and minimal intervention, allowing the fruit to express the character of the vintage and terroir.
The 2024 growing season began with abundant winter rains and a cool spring before mild summer temperatures encouraged slow, even ripening. Careful vineyard management and selective harvesting produced fruit with exceptional balance, purity, and vibrant expression. Following harvest, the wine was aged for 10 months in French oak barrels, 35% new, adding subtle layers of baking spice while preserving the bright red fruit, lively acidity, and silky texture that define Russian River Valley Pinot Noir.
