2019 Nunes Vineyard ~ Pinot Noir ~ Russian River Valley ~ 750 ml
Tasting Notes
The 2019 Nunes Vineyard Pinot offers loads of complexity, starting with the nose—a seductive blend of barrel toast and deep, concentrated dark cherry and raspberry that jumps out of the glass. The palate reveals raspberry, dark cherry and blackberry all woven with well-integrated toasty oak notes. High tone pomegranate and dried raspberry appear as the wine opens. Fresh acidity, a solid structure and the depth of flavors allow the complexity to build through the long finish. Simply a stunning wine.

Winemaker Notes
Located on the last of Russian River Valley’s alluvial bench with its silty clay loam soil, Nunes Vineyard provides us perfectly ripened 115, 667, 777 clonal grapes vintage after vintage. The valley’s renowned fog is a natural cooling system influencing from two directions, the Pacific Ocean from the West, and San Francisco Bay from the South, the perfect condition for a long cool growing season. Fred and Wendy Nunes combine a passion for growing Pinot Noir with a comprehensive knowledge of their vineyard and the science that drives it. Between Mother nature and the Nunes’, this vineyard has all the components we need to produce stellar Pinot Noir that speaks from the vineyard.
