LANDO Wines produces intensely flavored and balanced wines. Their definition of balance relates to beautiful and lush aromatics, a sensuous and saturating mid palate, and a lengthy captivating finish – a complete wine from start to finish.

The October 2017 fires in Sonoma County directly impacted LANDO Wines – they lost their entire 2016 vintage. Shortly after they realized the 2016 vintage was lost in the fires, LANDO Wines contacted fellow Pinot Noir colleagues to purchase a few barrels to create a special Pinot Noir. In the spirit of hope and rebirth, the 2016 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, Phoenix Blend, was created.

The 2015 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, Phoenix Blend, has striking aromas of crushed raspberry and Bing cherry. Fresh fruit and sassafras inner play with the berry notes. The wine rounds out to a very lengthy, silky finish. Intense, complex and yet elegant.

Very limited production. Large format bottles are not sold and are exclusively for special and non-profit events.
