Our classic expression of Russian River Pinot Noir is sourced from two appellation neighborhoods, the Middle Reach and the Laguna Hills, they are dynamic on their own, but when blended, they exude radiance. The defining feature of the Russian River Valley is a single three-letter word: fog. Fog from the Pacific Ocean enters the Russian River Valley through the Russian River from its origins at Jenner on the Sonoma Coast in the more northern aspect of the appellation and more significantly, from the Southwest through the Petaluma Wind Gap between Pt. Reyes and Bodega Bay toward Sebastopol, which is situated approximately ten miles south of the Russian River.
