2021 LOLA Russian River Valley Reserve Pinot Noir
Our Russian River Valley Reserve Pinot Noir is an effort to reintroduce the original wine style, upon which LOLA was founded in 2008. Native yeast and whole-cluster fermentation, as well as neutral oak aging, showcase a natural expression of Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir.
The 2021 LOLA Reserve Pinot Noir is an elegant wine crafted from a unique blend of Dijon clones and cuttings from Vosne-Romanée, one of Burgundy's most prestigious villages. This Pinot Noir embodies both California's rich fruit and Burgundy's refined complexity. The cool climate of Russian River Valley, complemented by the 2021 vintage's balanced growing season, preserves vibrant acidity while allowing the fruit to ripen fully. Aromatically, this wine showcases cassis, rhubarb, and cherry. Unfined and unfiltered, it possesses the bright acidity and firm natural tannins that give it backbone for years of ageability. 100 cases produced.
