Affinity Estate Russian River Pinot Noir 2024 750ml

This 2024 Affinity Estate Pinot Noir comes from the Russian River Valley, the Sonoma County appellation where night and morning fog roll in from the Pacific and keep the grapes cool.

The Russian River Valley became an official American Viticultural Area in 1983 and is now the second-largest appellation in Sonoma County. Its cool climate made its name with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and a UC Davis study found that its six neighborhoods each have distinct soils.

Those foggy mornings slow ripening, so the grapes keep their acidity while the fruit develops through long afternoons. That balance is the signature of the region's reds.

In the glass, Russian River Pinot tends toward red cherry and raspberry with a soft, round texture.
