About Russian River Valley
Russian River Valley is a fog-influenced sub-appellation of Sonoma County that has become synonymous with world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Russian River creates a natural corridor for Pacific fog, cooling the vineyards and extending the growing season for exceptional flavor development.
Climate
Cool climate heavily influenced by morning fog. The fog burns off by midday, allowing warm afternoon sunshine before cool evenings. This pattern creates ideal conditions for Burgundian varieties.
Terroir
Goldridge sandy loam soil predominates, providing excellent drainage and forcing vines to work for nutrients. The result is wines of concentration and complexity.
