The 5ive Russians 2025 Albarino, Lodi

The Winery A tiny, cultish project born from a group of friends who bonded over late‑night tastings and a shared obsession with cool‑climate Pinot Noir. The name of the winery was drawn from their use of grapes from five different vineyards in Sonoma's Russian River Valley. Their wines are made in extremely small quantities, with a focus on finesse, whole‑cluster aromatics, and vineyard transparency. The Russian doll image on the label provides a bit of insight into the informal, passion‑driven nature of the project.
