Tasting Notes from the Curator

DeLoach Russian River Pinot Noir offers an exquisite profile characterized by vibrant and aromatic fruits. On the nose, anticipate the bright aromas of raspberry and cherry, mingling with deeper, more seductive notes of black cherry and blackberry, gently elevated by an earthy forest floor essence. The oak aging imparts a subtle yet noticeable vanilla and clove spice, enveloping the aromas with an elegant warmth. On the palate, this Pinot Noir reveals its harmonious blend of strawberry and plum, encouraging a richness that is further elaborated by a pleasant hint of rhubarb and clove. Medium-bodied, the wine unfolds with a velvety, soft texture, tempered by moderate tannins that offer a gracious structure without overpowering the palate. The wine’s bright acidity provides a refreshing counterpoint to its plush richness, culminating in a clean and lingering finish that invites you ever so invitingly for another sip.

Pairings & Suggestions

DeLoach Russian River Pinot Noir’s complexity calls for the most thoughtful pairings. This elegant wine shines particularly well with grilled salmon where its bright acidity harmonizes beautifully with the salmon’s rich texture. Roasted duck breast in a cherry glaze is another exquisite option, complementing the wine’s fruit-driven notes while matching its depth. For a compelling vegetarian option, consider earthy mushroom risotto, where the wine’s spicy clove and earthy undertones align impeccably. Cheese lovers will find delight pairing this Pinot Noir with an assortment of cheeses such as bloomy-rinded Brie or a sharp aged Gouda.

  • Grilled Salmon: Match with raspberry balsamic reduction
  • Duck Breast: Serve with a cherry glaze
  • Mushroom Risotto: Enhances earthy flavors
  • Cheese Assortments: Brie and aged Gouda

    From Firefighting to Fine Wines: The DeLoach Story

DeLoach Vineyards stands as a beacon of excellence in the Russian River Valley, heralded for their pioneering role in bringing Pinot Noir to prominence in the region. Cecil DeLoach, originally a San Francisco firefighter, embarked on his winemaking journey by planting the first Pinot Noir vines in 1973. His efforts laid the foundation for what is now considered one of the premier terroirs for Pinot Noir in America, often compared to Burgundy, France. Today, under the stewardship of the Boisset family, the vineyards not only produce wines of exceptional quality but also uphold sustainable and biodynamic practices. This commitment to the environment and respect for traditional winemaking are woven into each bottle that leaves the estate, inviting wine aficionados to partake in a legacy that honors both the past and the present.

Storage Instructions

To preserve the exquisite profile of DeLoach Russian River Pinot Noir, store it horizontally in a cool, dark place with a stable temperature of 55-60°F (13-16°C). Maintain a humidity level around 70% to keep the cork in prime condition, protecting the wine from air exposure. It’s advisable to use a wine fridge for precise climate control. This Pinot Noir may be enjoyed upon release or aged for further development, always ensuring that its environment is free from vibrations and direct light exposure to maintain its nuanced character.
