The 2021 "La Source" Pinot Noir exhibits brilliant, deep red-violet glints in the glass. While
carrying plenty of weight, La Source remains vinous and transparent, making it a pleasure to drink. More terroir-driven than ripe and easy Californian in nature, it is marked by pure aromas of cassis and fragrant raspberry fruit mingled with woodsy, truffled aromas, accents of cinnamon and violets. Rigorous limiting of yields in the early development of the grapes was the key to heightened quality.

Luxurious and powerful, La Source has impressive weight, texture and presence in the glass. The wine is un-fined and unfiltered, using natural ferments. The clonal material is from Vosne-Romanée. 100% French Oak from the Tronçais Forest was employed, the oak air-dried 4 years, for the ultimate in balance and finesse. The La Source was bottled after 14 months in barrel. Grown on a rolling ridge dividing Russian River and the Sonoma Coast, just 5 miles from the Pacific, the wine enjoys the best of both climates; that gentle, seductive fruit classic to Russian River and the world-class structure
and texture typical of wines from the near-ocean vineyards.
