2014 Wohler Vineyard Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley
2014 Wohler Vineyard Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley
Replanted in 2006, Wohler Vineyard in Forestville sits in the heart of the famed Russian River Valley within sight of the Russian River and the historic Wohler Bridge. The combination of climate and Goldridge Series soils provides an environment well suited for growing ultra-premium Pinot noir. In 2014, we sourced grapes from four distinct blocks within the vineyard. Our blocks of clones 667 and 828 sit at the highest elevation and are the best-draining blocks on the property. Clones 115 and 2A are planted in cooler, lower spots within the vineyard where the soils contain more clay. Each block offers unique characteristics and an array of blending options with each vintage. This wine possesses a rich, lush core with focus and balanced acidity opening up to earthy aromatics and flavors. There is a brightness to this wine that differentiates it from the others in the Fall Release line up.
