Mountain Strong - 2023 Pinot Noir - Russian River Valley

There is something special about Saturdays in Boone, when generations of Mountaineers gather and Black & Gold fills the High Country. Following the devastation of Hurricane Helene, our community united with neighbors helping neighbors and Mountaineers answering the call. Through service, generosity, and resilience, we embodied what it means to be Mountain Strong. Raise a glass to our mountains, traditions, and community.

We introduce you to Mountain Strong. The 2023 vintage will be remembered for its cool conditions throughout the summer and into harvest, shaping a beautifully expressive Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley. Layered aromas of blackberry, baking spices, cranberry, cardamom, anise, and floral rose burst forth on the nose, while zingy cherry juice, cola nut, black tea, pomegranate, and hints of lemon zest unfold on the palate of this lush round Pinot that is braced by bright acidity.
