DeLoach Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2021
W I N E D E S C R I P T I O N
Using estate grapes and selected fruit from growers who focus on sustainable farming
practices in the Russian River Valley, this series of wines represents the “heart and soul” of
DeLoach’s offerings. These consistently award-winning and satisfying wines reflect the cool
climate, complex and elegant fruit-forward flavor profile unique to the Russian River Valley
appellation.
The grapes for this Pinot Noir are predominantly hand-harvested from the certified Sonoma
Sustainable BCD Vineyard, the sustainably farmed Heintz Vineyard and the Organic and
Demeter Certified DeLoach Estate. Each of these Russian River Valley Vineyards contribute their
unique complexities to the final blend.
The BCD Vineyard consists of five distinct blocks within the vineyard with soils varying from
Huichica clay loam to heavier clay being found in some of the lower lying portions of the
vineyard. Located in the town of Occidental, the Heintz Vineyard is located in the Green Valley
sub AVA and is planted to four distinct clones. The Swan and Pommard clones have
traditionally provided a concentrated mouthfeel and earthy characteristics to the wines made
from the vineyard, while the 113 and Beringer clones bring more spice and tannic intensity to
the wines.
This wine is crafted using traditional Burgundian techniques, including fermentation in small
tanks, hand punch downs and aging in 60-gallon French oak barrels. This Pinot Noir is an
elegant example of the varietal, velvety and soft with a plush mouthfeel of perfectly balanced
structure and acidity.
T A S T I N G N O T E S
Fragrant aromas of luscious raspberry coulis, ripe red plum, juicy strawberry, and aromatic
baking spices greet the senses. The palate delights in the flavors of sun-drenched dried
cranberry, delicate Alpine strawberries, and the perfect balance of sweet and tart cherries. This
wine boasts a medium-bodied profile that showcases an exceptional texture and a lingering,
memorable finish.
