Thompson 31Fifty Russian River Valley Pinot Noir - We are the newest boutique winery in Healdsburg, Russian River Valley, CA.

This 2017 wine - she is spirited and memorable - is an impressively generous and balanced wine, showing strength and complexity. Delicate red fruits from Laguna along with tannins from Lancel Creek mix with the power and intensity of our fruit from our estate vineyard at Thompson 31Fifty Westside Road This wine has a wonderful mid-palate and an especially lasting finish. Her character will last for decades. Clones used in this wine are Pommard, Calera, 777 and Pisoni. Fruit was night-harvested by hand and de-stemmed with 10 percent whole clusters added. Only French oak barrels were used - 40 percent new. Malolactic fermentation was allowed to occur naturally. Barrels were transferred to the coldest section of the barrel room and remained in contact with lees for less than 15 months, before being racked once and blended for bottling.

Only 592 cases handcrafted. $60 per bottle; minimum three-bottle order.
