TASTING NOTES

The 2023 Stiling Vineyard Pinot is a striking expression of Russian River Valley, overflowing with vibrant aromas of ripe dark cherry and strawberry and further elevated by enticing notes of cola and sweet baking spices. From the first sip, the palate is enveloped in a luxurious wave of mouth-watering Pinot Noir fruit, accentuated by a silky texture that lingers through a long, satisfying finish.

Fermented in open-top tanks with gentle punchdowns and pumpovers, a touch of whole-cluster was included to add subtle layers of candied fruit and spice. 45% new French oak aging for 15 months imparts a refined background structure without overwhelming the fruit. The result is a wine that is both expressive and impeccably balanced, with well-integrated tannins supporting its generous core.

Always a standout in our Pinot lineup, the 2023 Stiling Vineyard Pinot Noir promises to evolve beautifully over the next decade. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for future indulgence, this is a wine that continues to showcase the brilliance of this special place.
