2023 Wohler Vineyard Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley
2023 Wohler Vineyard Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley
2023 was an exceptional vintage for Wohler Vineyard. We were able to pick small exposed sections of the vineyard before a heat wave, while letting the cooler sections hang longer and gain complexity. These smaller picks allowed the grapes to achieve optimal ripeness in each section. The resulting wine showcases the best of what this vineyard, and its well-draining Goldridge Series soils, can offer. This blend of Pinot Noir clones 667, 828, and Wädenswil 2A offers layers of red fruits and earthy tones with a deep silky texture.

"The 2023 ‘Wohler Vineyard’ Pinot Noir is sourced from this site in the middle of theRussian River Valley is set on Goldridge soils. Damp earth and peat moss notes combine with shades of black cherry compote, black raspberry and hints of cola all meld together on the palate. Full bodied, with great texture and structure, this is a downright awesome new release that has both the stuffing and finesse to cellar well over the next fifteen years." - Owen Bargreen
