The Russian River Valley is the most southerly AVA within Northern Sonoma. It is named for the influx of Russian immigrants who, between 1812 and 1841, settled along the Sonoma coast, establishing agricultural businesses including the planting of wine grapes. Beginning at Fort Ross they moved up to Sebastopol, Graton and Freestone, eventually settling in what would become Russian River Valley.

Russian River Valley on Snooth
April 2013
A little earthy on the nose, with lovely floral, almost rose petal, aromas topped with lychee and pineapple. In the mouth, this is a little sweetly fruited up front, but with attractive freshness to the apricot fruit that shows some some golden raspberry character in a very clean and bright style. This shows lovely energy in the mouth, with late... Read More

Theres a lightly sweet fruity top note to the Asian pear fruit on the nose, which picks up lovely spice nuances with air. On the palate this is clear and tense, full of green apples with a hint of fig at the core, all framed with textural touches of green plum and lemon curd on the back end that leads to a clean, apple peel finish full of lovely...

A little smoky and rich, with dried cherry aromas topped with lightly spicy rhubarb top notes. This is crystal clear on the palate, though with a hint of toasty sweetness that lends this a bit of softness in the mouth even though theres significant acidity supporting the slight earthy, slightly tree bark-edged cranberry fruit. That fruit is nice... Read More
April 2013
A little high-toned, with floral edges to the dusty sweet red fruit that shows a hint of tariness on the nose along with a streak of obvious but unobtrusive French Oak, which is more spicy than toasty. This is a touch soft on entry, with easy red fruit and vanilla ice cream flavors that pick up a nice hint of forest floor and a touch of minerali... Read More
April 2013
Lightly aromatic on the nose with a lovely gentle sweetness of waxy ripe red cherry over a light camphor base, topped with intriguing hints of rosewater. This is wonderfully light, crisp and focused in the mouth, with excellent snap of almost tart but ripe red cherry and cranberry fruit framed by hints of cinnamon and rhubarb. The finish shows l...

April 2013
Big and spicy on the nose, with a deep olive wood briar accent to the rich blackberry fruit thats topped with nuanced floral and lightly smoky aromas. This is smooth and moderately rich in the mouth, with a layer of baby fat covering the fine-grained tannins and supporting acidity. A nice tart, almost black cherry note dominates the palate and d...

April 2013
Theres a touch of cola or kukui nut on the nose over lovely layers of rhubarb, beet root and red fruit fruit, with subtle hints of stems and a very fine green edge. This is very light on the palate, with aromatic rose petals, red cherry and cranberry fruit, and just a touch of older wood adding a gentle earthy cast. Theres plenty of nice red fru... Read More
April 2013
This has a stunning nose, high-toned and floral, with spicy, lightly smoky accents to the earthy small berried fruits that offer up a nuanced beet root note. Soft yet structured, there is lovely depth here with a rich front edge followed by nice nuanced spice notes and very pure, defined red berry and black cherry skin fruit that shows off near...

April 2013
Fleshy fruit on the nose is framed by a hint of pencil lead, sharp with an almost spricotty freshness and sweetness to the perfumed red cherry and strawberry fruit. This is almost a bit soft in the mouth, but just when you think the broad, mouth-filling texture is going to go over the edge, the wine pulls back and shows the polished and smooth H... Read More
April 2013
This smells quite ripe, with hints of plummy fruit and candied blueberries on the nose paired with a fine cinnamon edge and a little stemmy floral note. On entry, one senses more of an oak imprint here than with the other bottlings. The style is smooth and ripe, if a little on the softer, sweeter side of things, with lots of slightly candied bla...
