The Calling Fox Den Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021 is a captivating expression from California’s renowned Russian River Valley, known for its cool climate and elegant wines. On the nose, it offers delightful aromas of Bing cherry and red plum, complemented by hints of crushed red rose petals and baking spices. The palate reveals a complex interplay of sweet and tart flavors, featuring dried cranberry, wild strawberry, clove, and nutmeg, all wrapped in a weighty and textured mouthfeel. This robust Pinot Noir reflects the stewardship of the Smith family, who have nurtured this vineyard since 1972, continuing a legacy that honors both the land and its playful fox inhabitants.
