Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2022 – J Vineyards Double Gold Wine

J Vineyards 2022 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir: Award-Winning Elegance

Experience the celebrated craftsmanship of J Vineyards with our exceptional 2022 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. This Double Gold medal winner (2025 Press Democrat North Coast Wine Challenge, 2024 Sonoma County Harvest Fair) captures the essence of Sonoma County’s premier terroir, earning a stellar 97 points and praise for its “baked cherry pie” richness and velvety texture.

Crafted from over 50 meticulously selected small lots across the appellation, this wine beautifully expresses classic Russian River Valley character. Your palate is greeted by vibrant layers of ripe red berries, succulent cherry, and bright red fruits, elegantly intertwined with subtle notes of effervescent cola, delicate rose petal, earthy undertones, and a whisper of clove spice. Its smooth, fresh mouthfeel leads to a satisfying finish enhanced by nuanced oak texture and moderate tannins.

Praised by James Suckling (92 Points) for its harmonious blend of black cherries, forest floor, and spice on a full body, this crowd-pleasing Pinot Noir is perfectly balanced at 14.7% alcohol. Enjoy its remarkable development now – it’s wonderfully approachable yet complex.

Versatile and food-friendly, pair it superbly with earthy truffled goat cheese and rhubarb, grilled branzino accompanied by roasted tomatoes and olives, or a decadent chocolate torte with raspberry coulis. Discover why this critically acclaimed California Pinot Noir stands apart – a testament to small-lot artistry in every sip.
