Valravn, Pinot Noir, Sonoma County, California 2023 organic Spanish chorizoThe core of the Valravn Pinot Noir is from the Russian River AVA (about three quarters), with Sonoma Coast fruit making up the balance. Hand sorted grapes undergo a cold soak in the cellar, followed by primary fermentation with 25% whole clusters in small open top stainless steel tanks. Following primary, the wine transferred to a blend of French oak, including Franois Freres, Remond, and Rousseau barrels, about 20% of which are new, for ten months
