Russian River Valley
2021 Lindley's Knoll Pinot Noir
In Stock
Winemaker Notes
Cherry, caramel and cola aromas are followed by dusty oak, butterscotch and plum flavors. This wine shows balanced acid in the midpalate and a slightly fresher acidity on the finish. Enjoy this Pinot Noir with creamy mushroom risotto, maple-pomegranate glazed pork chops or your favorite assorted cheeses.
Vineyard Notes
Davis Bynum Pinot Noirs showcase the unique terroir of distinct sites in the Russian River Valley. Our Lindley’s Knoll Pinot Noir comes from a block in our Jane’s Vineyard located in the Santa Rosa Plain area of this AVA. The vines here show moderate vigor in their growth habit, mainly due to the acidic, nutrient poor soil and good drainage. We planted on rootstock that has a shallower rooting angle to match the soil profile. Temperate weather is common at Jane’s Vineyard, allowing the fruit to ripen in the warm days, yet retain acidity in cool nighttime temperatures.
Production Notes
The 2021 vintage was mild and dry. Seasonable weather made for very pleasant spring and summer
days. Due to the even temperatures, we predicted an early harvest, but we found that the blocks
were ripening slow and steady and need a little more time to ripen than in previous vintages We
waited for full flavors to develop and hand-picked the cold fruit in the early morning hours of
September 22.
