Founded in 1982, Gary Farrell Winery has built its reputation around Russian River Valley Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. This 2023 Pinot Noir comes from Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley, an appellation strongly influenced by Pacific fog and cooling maritime air.
A true representative of the stunning Russian River Valley appellation, this Pinot Noir opens with vibrant aromas of succulent red cherries and rose petals with swirl of brown baking spices and a touch of cedar. The broad, medium-bodied palate delivers more ripe red fruits, blood orange, and some savory earth notes, all supported by zesty acidity and fine tannins into the long, spicy finish.
92 Wine Enthusiast Focused aromas of black cherry, blackberry and cola waft on the nose of this Pinot. The palate brings bright fresh cherry, spice mélange and flowers with orange peel acidity and echoes of cedar, roses and plum through the finish.
92 Wine Spectator A bright and friendly version, whose pomegranate and cherry fruit is engaging, with flashes of rose petal and iris skirting about. Offers a fresh, transparent finish.
