This classic Russian River Valley Pinot Noir expresses characteristics that are true to the Middle Reach, the most famous neighborhood within the appellation. Bacigalupi is situated in the northernmost part of the region, which produces wines with vibrant red cherry, rose petal, wet earth and black tea. 

This Bien Nacido Pinot Noir is like an elixir of exotic red fruit, exuding aromas of Açaí, Goji, pomegranate, dried stems, cardamom, powdered ginger and star anise, all balanced by an earthy under layer of dried stems, toasted cedar and sandalwood. The array of palate fl avors is simultaneously fruit-driven and savory, exploding with hints of wild strawberry, raspberry, Mangosteen and crushed herbs, all wrapped up in a blanket of velvety grape tannins. The juicy acidity creates a persistent, tangy sensation, while the spicy oak and wood tannins add a polishing finish to this beautiful wine.

The wines from the Bien Nacido vineyard consistently display a spectacular range of exotic aromas and complex flavors, and the 2015 offering has certainly followed suit. Eucalyptus, mint, and sage quickly emerge from the glass and are joined by layers of dried mushrooms, fresh tea leaves, and an array baking spices. Sweet cherry and wild strawberries entice the palate and perfectly integrate with the savory character of this special wine.

The pure coastal expression of fruit in this wine is dark, earthy and savory, exuding aromas of tobacco, Oolong tea leaves, cassis, blackberry and violet petals. The palate entry is tangy, succulent and well-structured with a strong backbone of fl eshy tannins. Flavors of beet root, rose hip and fennel add complexity to the gorgeous pomegranate seed and Asian plum layers that unfold on the palate. This elegant Pinot Noir has a long, luscious fi nish that is enlivened by its bright acidity, polished by the wood tannins and framed perfectly by the spicy, lightly toasted oak flavors.

This true coastal wine – the most savory Pinot Noir in our lineup– offers a beautiful counterpoint to our classic Russian River Valley wines.

An elegant bouquet of ground cloves, allspice and savory dried herbs lead to complex layers of dried flowers, vanilla, blood orange, cranberry and cherry on the palate. Smooth yet well-structured tannins make this an age-worthy wine you can enjoy now or hold onto for years to come.

From the moment you see the vibrant ruby hue of this Hallberg Vineyard Pinot Noir, you are enveloped in the essence of plump and juicy berries.
