Darioush Signature Pinot Noir Russian River Valley

Red Wine | 750mL | Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA | 100% Pinot Noir | Burgundy Barrel Aging

Process & Profile

Darioush Signature Pinot Noir Russian River Valley reflects the coastal influence and distinctive soils of this Sonoma County appellation. Its vineyards benefit from Pacific fog, cool growing conditions, and southeastern exposure, helping the grapes develop expressive fruit while retaining freshness.

Goldridge soils—a fine, sandy loam formed from ancient marine sediments—are an important part of the vineyard setting. Aging in a combination of new and neutral Burgundy barrels complements the fruit with subtle spice and texture.

The wine’s style brings together berry and cherry flavors, floral aromatics, and savory herbal accents. A supple palate and refreshing acidity provide balance, making it equally appealing for a leisurely glass or a thoughtfully paired meal.
