Our 2021 Swicegood Vineyard Pinot Noir opens with exhilarating aromas of fresh berries and sassafras with a sprinkle of white pepper. Flavors of red cherry and ripe raspberry layer the palate with bright acidity and notes of tobacco leaf and hazelnut. The soft and luxurious mouthfeel and long, pleasing finish make this a perfect pairing with grilled salmon or seared duck breast.
The grapes were hand-harvested on September 17, 2021 and fermented in open-top vats with hand punchdowns occurring twice a day, after which the must is basket-pressed and barrel-aged 9 months in French oak, 12.5% new.
In the western hills of the Russian River Valley, the small Green Valley appellation is one of Sonoma Countys coolest regions. Evening fog blankets push over from the Pacific Ocean to temper the warm summer days. These optimal conditions extend the growing season, encouraging flavor concentration in the berries while mineral rich soils infuse the fruit with nuanced flavors.
