A little lighter, without being lean; a little crisper, without being tart; a little more fruit driven, without being distracting; with a round, soft mouthfeel, and less oak and alcohol than you often find in California Pinot Noirs.

Wine maker notes

Davis Bynum pinot noir is driven by vineyard sites.True to long-established form, it remains a very food friendly wine, with bright fruit aromas and flavors, a rich yet soft, silky texture and a very long finish. Our Russian River Valley pinot noir takes a series of exceptional vineyards and blends them together to create a classic wine that captures all the regional traits.

Producer

Davis Bynum is distinguished as the first winery to produce a single vineyard pinot noir from Russian River Valley. The vintage was 1973 and the grapes were from Joe Rochioli’s now prized vineyard. Today, more than thirty years later, the heritage of Davis Bynum lives on through hand crafted pinot noir and chardonnay grown exclusively from prime vineyards in Russian River Valley.
