Overview
A step up in intensity and depth from the 2023 vintage, this 2024 Reserve Pinot Noir delivers a more expressive and layered profile while maintaining the signature balance of Russian River Valley. A vintage that leans slightly more powerful, yet remains polished and precise.
Aromas & Flavors
More pronounced and aromatic than the previous vintage, deep red cherry, black cherry, and raspberry lead, followed by baking spice, subtle vanilla, and a touch of earthy undertones. The nose is lifted, expressive, and immediately engaging.
Mouthfeel
Medium+ body with greater depth and presence. The texture is silky yet more structured than 2023, with refined tannins and vibrant acidity providing lift and direction. The finish is longer, more persistent, and confidently balanced.
Food Pairings
Duck breast, roasted chicken, mushroom risotto, grilled salmon, or herb-driven dishes with earthy components.
Verdict
A more impactful and expressive evolution of the 2023 vintage. Enhanced aromatics, deeper flavor concentration, and a longer finish make this a standout while preserving elegance and drinkability.

π· Personal Pick
This one hits different. Being part of this vintage during my time at Amici Cellars (wine boot camp), it adds a layer of connection that goes beyond the glass. More aromatic, deeper, and more expressive than the 2023, this is a vintage I experienced from both sides, and it shows beautifully.
