Balletto Vineyards is a family-owned, 100 percent estate-grown and bottled producer in the Russian River Valley. The BCD Vineyard, a 16-year-old parcel, is one of Balletto's prized lands, featuring silty-sandy loam soil characteristic of the region that encourages deep root systems and produces high-quality grapes. With an alcohol content of 14.1%, this wine represents the pinnacle of the winery's commitment to sustainable farming and traditional winemaking practices.

Inviting aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and strawberry, accented by hints of rose petal, subtle spice, and earthy undertones.

On the palate, the wine is elegant and well-structured with flavors of ripe red berries and pomegranate, complemented by light tannins and balanced acidity that create a smooth, harmonious profile.

Long and refined, with lingering notes of red fruit and a hint of spice that maintains complexity throughout.

The BCD Vineyard's unique microclimate—with quickly shifting temperatures between morning fog and afternoon warmth—combined with its distinctive soil composition, creates ideal conditions for developing the elegance and complexity Pinot Noir is known for. Balletto's Russian River Valley Pinot Noirs are consistent winners in local wine competitions and sensibly priced for their quality.

This Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roasted duck, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, and soft cheeses like Brie and Camembert. Enjoy now or cellar for up to three years to allow the wine's refined characteristics to fully develop.
