This is our 4th vintage from Cohn Vineyard. Reaching almost 40 years in age, Cohn Vineyard produces Pinot Noir with extraordinary depth and complexity. This wine is showing classic Russian river varietal along with deep structure, rich mouth-feel and a wide array of aromatics and flavors.
THE RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY IS hallowed ground for lovers of great Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Here, the vines are submersed in clockwork fog and daytime temperature swings, which preserve the natural acidity essential to elegant, age-worthy wines. We work with a handful of the most beloved vineyards from this remarkable wine region considered by many to be the heartland of California Pinot Noir.
Within Russian River Valley, in a town tucked away from the main roads, you’ll find a community ranging from writer to artisan. The town of Graton is an area where local winemakers and growers take a respite and enjoy some of the many popular yet under-the-radar restaurants. During harvest, the little town is full of life and bustling.
