Fall Release Finn Pinot Noir
2024

Winemaker’s Notes

If you've been on this journey with us a while, you'll know that Finn Pinot Noir is more often than not our Pinot of the vintage – regarded by customers and trade alike as our flagship bottling, though we avoid any such hierarchy internally. Without fail, Finn Pinot Noir Noir displays a beguiling, kaleidoscopic range of aromas and flavors, and has always typified the unique beauty of the southwestern Russian River district, distinct from the warmer areas to its north and east. The vineyard sources fuse effortlessly into a heightened dimension, both beautiful and contemplative – a wine of contrasts: crunchy yet deep, textured yet long, rich yet bright, supple, pure, and layered. With grapes this fine, winemaking plays a subordinate role; the quality here was planted in the past and grown every vintage – and this, our twenty fifth vintage, is a wine of subtle beauty and classicism. 

Explosively aromatic and deeply textured. Raspberry, blackberry, wildflowers, spices, orange zest, and sandalwood. Lovely purity and flow, with succulence and vibrancy entwined with silky tannins and a rising elderflower finish. Undeniably delicious, with its signature Finn style. Drink between late 2026 and 2040. 

“Blending fruit from Bressay and Occidental Road, the 2024 Pinot Noir Finn combines Calera-clone vines from clay and sandy soils into a wine of exceptional harmony. Cherries, spice, wildflowers, saline accents, and refined tannins all resonate beautifully. Drink 2026-2050.” – Audrey Frick, Jeb Dunnuck
