Our Wines

Our 2016 Rosé of Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley came from a Sagnee of ripe Pinot Noir. This ancient French method for dealing with high brix fruit always meant there would be a little Rosé around the house for family dinners. Our Sagnee, or “bleed” came from a friends lot of Pinot that was very ripe. There was enough to make 56 cases, so instead of drinking it around the house, we put a label on it this time! It’s a robust and fruity version of Rosé, with more than enough body to pair with foods. We find fresh and ample flavors of ripe cherry, strawberry, rose hip and touch of tropical fruit. It has some of the most beautiful color you’ll ever see in a Rosé - we can’t get enough of just looking at it. Drink this Rosé nice and cold in the next few months. We’ll make more next year! 2016 Bannister Rosé of Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley 56 cases 13.2% Alc. 3.5 ph

Pre-order now for 25% case discount. Estimated to ship Fall 2016 This Pinot is here to tell the story. Right out of the bottle it has a dazzling ruby and garnet color. A wide array of aromas jump from the glass - dark sweet cherry, blackberry, rose petal, vanilla, plum, orange zest, and pomegranate. The flavors are just as intense and varied - cherry cola, vanilla, coffee, boysenberry and huckleberry, and a perfect touch of spicy nutmeg and clove. This wine has great tannin structure and tons of body, which will only get better with time. Only three hundred cases produced. This 2014 Pinot Noir just keeps impressing us and gaining complexity in the bottle. Green Valley is a tiny and cooler sub appellation of the Russian River valley. This gives it’s vineyard even more ability to produce great Pinots from an already epic Pinot growing region.
