Winemaker Notes
The foggy, cool vineyards in the Sonoma Coast produce gorgeous wines with beautiful high-toned red fruit flavors, while the Russian River Component adds a richness and concentration in the form of black cherry, ripe strawberry, with hints of vanilla from top quality bottle aging. The wine is concentrated, but energetic with a linear mineral and acid streak providing backbone and freshness.
ABOUT VALRAVN / EST. 2014
WE’VE BEEN MAKING WINE IN SONOMA COUNTY FOR OVER TEN YEARS NOW AND ALONG THE WAY, ESTABLISHED A DYNAMIC NETWORK OF FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES THAT INCLUDE VINEYARD OWNERS, GROWERS AND WINEMAKERS. WHILE WE SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATED AND MANEUVERED OUR WAY THROUGH THE NÉGOCE MARKET IN THE PAST, VALRAVN REPRESENTS THE NEXT EVOLUTIONARY STEP FOR US. BECAUSE OF THOSE FORGED RELATIONSHIPS AND FRIENDSHIPS, WE HAVE EXCLUSIVE ACCESS TO GRAPES FROM FANTASTIC VINEYARDS AND THE TEAM TO OVERSEE HANDS-ON PRODUCTION FROM VINEYARD TO BOTTLE. WE ARE PROUD OF OUR PAST ACHIEVEMENTS AND EXCITED TO REALIZE THE CULMINATION OF A DECADE OF LEARNING AND FOCUS, BRINGING AUTHENTIC WINES TO THE TABLE THAT WE HAVE FOUND, SEEN, AND TOUCHED AT EVERY STEP.
