"The 2021 Valravn Pinot Noir is a juicy, complex wine with rich raspberry compote, clove, and cedar spice scents. The Sonoma Coast parcels show the typical crunchy red fruits, while the Russian River fruit gives the briary bramble, all accented with spice from the whole cluster components. An unctuous palate weight balances flavors of framboise and wild berries. The wine has excellent complexity and plays in a category far above its modest price point." —winemaker

Supple, dusty tannins and uplifting acidity add depth and freshness, respectively, to the wine while savory iron, mocha, and rose hip notes chime in on the finish." —winemaker

"Fermented with native yeasts in small batch fermentations, the wine is a representation of the of the people and places that farm and vinify it. Medium-bodied, with primary aromas of dark cherry, mocha and floral, that are echoed on the satiny palate, with a bright finish." —winemaker
