Notes of fresh wild strawberries, crushed red rose petals, sour cherries, and holiday spices on the nose. Freshly picked wild red raspberries, pomegranate, and clove on the palate lead into a balanced, lingering, and mouthwatering finish.

Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
Fox Den Vineyard sits on the western boundary of the Green Valley AVA in the Russian River Valley, 12 miles from the coast. The microclimate has
moderate daytime temperatures, cool nights, and early-morning fog, resulting in a long growing season that is perfect for Pinot Noir. The grapes boast good sugar levels, ripe tannins, and high acid, resulting in dense and complex wines.
Production Notes
Grapes were hand-picked, hand-sorted, and de-stemmed. They underwent a five-day cold soak followed by fermentation with daily punch-downs by hand to enhance flavor extraction.
