Davis Bynum - Jane's Vineyard - Pinot Noir - Russian River Valley

Davis Bynum has been making single-vineyard Pinot Noir in the Russian River Valley, drawing on Jane's Vineyard, a site known for the cool, fog-laden mornings that define this part of Sonoma County. The wine reflects that provenance: a California expression of Pinot Noir with the region's characteristic depth and ripeness, tempered by the marine influence that keeps acidity intact.

Expect a red with real fruit weight and a savoury undertow, built to handle richer fare without losing its varietal lift. Pour it with roast duck, pan-seared chicken, or a mushroom risotto, and serve at 14-16°C to let the fruit and earth notes show properly.
