From the cool, fog-kissed Russian River Valley comes a single-vineyard Pinot Noir that captures why this corner of Sonoma has become one of California’s most celebrated places for the grape.
The Banshee Trenton Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022 is crafted from several classic Pinot Noir clones grown in the Russian River Valley’s cool, Pacific-influenced climate. Fog helps moderate temperatures and extend the growing season, allowing the grapes to develop generous fruit while retaining the freshness and acidity Pinot Noir needs for balance.
After harvest, the wine spends 15 months in French oak, adding texture and subtle spice without overwhelming the fruit.
Raspberry bramble and fresh strawberry lead on the nose, joined by vanilla and baking spice. The palate brings another layer of pomegranate, subtle oak and fine tannins before finishing dry, balanced and wonderfully fresh.
It’s a polished expression of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir — generous enough to immediately enjoy, but with the freshness and structure that keep you coming back to the glass.
