The Character
Tasting Notes Aromas of raspberry, musk, and cocoa with earthy complexity. Juicy red currant entry leads to a fine structure of wet-stone minerality and firm, age-worthy tannins. A burst of late-palate acidity refreshes before a rich, perfumed finish. True to its region, this Russian River Valley Pinot Noir offers layered aromatics and a core of red fruit.

The Story
Likely no one has planted more Russian River Valley vineyards than Jim Pratt, who built his reputation by perfectly matching Pinot Noir clones to site. Black Road Vineyard is the culmination of his 30-plus year winegrowing career. Clone 114 is soft and forward with a lovely texture and Clone 115 contributes aromatics and structure for good cellaring potential; these Dijon Clones are a winning combination. La Follette is the exclusive producer of this single-vineyard Pinot Noir, and 2017 Black Road Pinot Noir is the debut vintage.
