This Nicholson Ranch Pinot Noir packs a punch on the palate. A rich, weighty mouthfeel full of our classic cherry/berry combination shows through immediately, uninterrupted by oak or tannin. Very ripe-fruit and fruit-forward, this newest vintage is a crowd pleaser.

A combination of estate grown and locally farmed fruit, we source the benchland and alluvial soils from some 300 acres of vineyard in the Russian River, Chalk Hill, and Sonoma Coast appellations in the making of this wine.
