Famous for its gnarled old vines dating back multiple generations, this historic Russian River Valley property has stood the test of time and is considered by the who’s who of local winemakers to be a benchmark for the entire region.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal;\"\u003eWorld-class reputation comes with commensurate prices, but as the market remains unpredictable, our outreach continues to find producers willing to quietly cut deals out the side door to secure cash up front.

Old Pinot vines deliver structure without heaviness, and phenolic depth that’s already integrated – character that younger vines simply can’t replicate. Deeper root systems also produce smaller berries with lower water content, directly translating to density of flavor. All of this is on clear display with today’s acquisition – a few barrels of Burgundian-styled, beautifully concentrated Pinot that normally \u003cem\u003ebegins\u003c\/em\u003e at the $70\/bottle mark. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur price: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-align: center; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e$24\/bottle!\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal;\"\u003eThis site possesses the Russian River hallmarks: it’s foggy, breezy, and gently sloped, with a distinctive soil composition we can’t disclose without giving away the origin. Our source timed the pick beautifully, and nothing was overdone in the cellar because nothing needed to be – especially with vines of this quality. Partially whole-cluster fermented in small open-top tanks with a restrained approach to extraction, the wine was aged in 100% French oak barrels before bottling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExpertly delineated on the nose, deeply set cranberries and cherry reduction bathed in forest floor rise from the glass, layered with rose petal, dragon fruit, and a light gunflint accent. On entry, red fruit acidity and a pronounced thread of volcanic minerality combine with ultra-fine velvety tannins that frame notes of cola, tobacco leaf, and wild strawberry. The finish is strikingly clean and elegant, trailing with a delicate spice, light vanillin, and echoes of red berries. Approachable in the near term with a decade of upside. When sommeliers speak of the classic “pigs \u0026amp; Pinot” pairings, this is precisely the profile they have in mind – break out the pork chops (or bacon)!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e13.8% alc\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"de Négoce","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56096594460838,"sku":"BTL.OG0586","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0338\/3299\/2908\/files\/Lot586-24RRVPinotNoir.png?v=1768433060","url":"https:\/\/www.denegoce.com\/products\/lot-586-2024-russian-river-valley-pinot-noir-750ml","provider":"de Négoce","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
