ShunYi Cellars 'Russian River Valley' Pinot Noir 2023

From the fog-shrouded heart of Sonoma County — a Pinot Noir of vibrant acidity, fine structure, and effortless elegance.

The Russian River Valley — specifically the cool Green Valley district — is world-renowned for its morning fog, Pacific breezes, and iconic Goldridge sandy loam soils. Sourcing fruit from the Twin Hills Vineyard, ShunYi Cellars leverages this distinctive microclimate to produce a Pinot Noir that emphasizes freshness and aromatic precision over heavy power.

Tasting Notes A bright core of red cherry, raspberry, and tart cranberry opens the nose, accented by dried rose petal, subtle clove, and a distinct mineral edge. On the palate, energetic acidity and finely polished tannins frame a rich mid-palate of red fruit and savory undertones.

The Finish Smooth, long, and gracefully balanced, with hints of lingering spice and minerality carrying through to a clean close. A wine crafted to invite conversation and reward both the first sip and the last.
