2004 Koplen Vineyard, Russian River Valley​
Pinot Noir

Koplen vineyard is owned and managed by Dennis and Lynn Koplen who have a passion and a feel for how to grow Pinot Noir. Dennis calls his vines his “girls” and takes care of them as if they were his children. The vineyard is located on Olive Road in the Russian River Valley’s middle reach and is planted exclusively to clone 667, which gives the wine deep structure and a dark fruit profile.

RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY, CALIFORNIA
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.
