In the heart of the Russian River Valley and sourced exclusively by Radio–Coteau, the Alberigi vineyard lies on a stretch of
Vine Hill Road renowned for its Goldridge soils. Extremely low yields in 2007 resulting from a 50% reduction in cluster weights contributed to the concentration and focus of this bottling.

Effusive and layered, the nose evokes a wide range of floral, fruity and earthy flavors such as mulberry, cherry cider, gardenia, cinnamon stick, matsutake mushroom, sous bois and cocoa powder. The powerful midpalate is showing some baby fat now, but its integrated acid structure portends a long cellar life. Perfumed floral high tones dance above brown spice and forest floor bass notes on the pure, focused finish. This tastes young and powerful, but it should expand and deepen with age through at least 2015.

296 cases produced. $50 per bottle.

THE WINE ADVOCATE #180, December 2008
(91-93) points
“The 2007 Pinot Noir Alberigi, which comes from a single vineyard on Vine Hill Road in Sebastopol in the Russian River, is made from the Dijon clones 114, 115, and 777. It exhibits sweet floral, black raspberry, and jammy black cherry notes with hints of earth and root vegetables. This is a medium to full–bodied, well–made Pinot Noir, with the oak pushed completely into the background and the fruit dominant. ” — Robert Parker
