Jonive Pinot Noir Russian River Valley

Jonive's Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is a beautiful example of the cool-climate, fruit-driven style that makes this part of Sonoma so compelling. It has plenty of depth without feeling heavy, with bright red cherry and wild berry fruit backed by savory herbs, forest floor, and a little earthy spice. There is a lovely freshness running through the wine, giving it energy and keeping you coming back for another sip. Jonive is making the kind of Pinot Noir I love to find from California: serious, site-driven wine that doesn't need to shout to get your attention. The combination of ripe fruit, savory character, and lively acidity makes this incredibly versatile at the table. Roast chicken, pork chops, grilled salmon, mushroom dishes, or a good burger would all be right at home alongside a bottle.
