2018 Green Valley of Russian River Valley BACCHUS CLUB EXCLUSIVE

VINTAGE NOTES 2018 had incredibly moderate and consistent day time temperatures pushing this growing season until the 1st week of November. The latest we have finished picking in almost a decade. These perfect conditions resulted in impeccable fruit quality across all . Flavor and phenolic ripeness was achieved at lower sugar levels. This balance has created some of the most elegant and age worthy wines produced in recent memory. Yields were also exceptional, which means great wine and lots of it. Truly a goldilocks type vintage, with all aspects (climate, hangtime, and yields) being just right.

VINEYARD INFORMATION The Green Valley of Russian River Valley AVA (formerly Sonoma County Green Valley AVA) is an American Viticultural Area in Sonoma County, California, United States. Located at the southwestern corner of the Russian River Valley AVA, its close proximity to the Pacific Ocean makes it one of the coolest appellations within Sonoma County. The climate in the Green Valley is even cooler than other parts of the Russian River Valley, and favors the cultivation of cool climate varietals like Pinot noir.

TASTING NOTES They say wine is bottled poetry, and indeed this one is an ode to Northern California. Be transported to the aromas of a redwood grove with a glass of this club-exclusive Pinot Noir sourced from Green Valley of Russian River Valley. The palate rounds out the savoriness of forest floor with a burst of fresh picked berry pie and grated nutmeg.We are so smitten we wrote this wine a haiku: From land to our glass. Like redwood duff on a bluff. With a lot of pie.
