2023 Pont Neuf Pinot Noir "La Source"....$79.99
The 2023 “La Source” Pinot Noir is a classically styled, terroir-driven expression from Silver Eagle Vineyard atop Stoetz Ridge, where the Russian River meets the Sonoma Coast just five miles from the Pacific. Brilliant in the glass with deep violet highlights, the wine combines a silky, weightless texture with striking transparency and lift. Aromas of plum and cassis unfold alongside woodsy truffle notes, violets, and warm cinnamon, reflecting a cool, even ripening season that delivered exceptional color, purity, and complexity. Rigorously limited yields and Vosne-Romanée clonal material contribute to the wine’s depth and structure, while traditional Burgundian élevage—barrel fermentation, 14 months in air-dried French oak from the Tronçais Forest, and no fining or filtration—adds balance and finesse rather than overt oak. Crafted by winemaker Douglas Danielak, La Source captures the seductive fruit of Russian River with the tension and texture of near-ocean vineyards, making the 2023 vintage both compelling now and a strong candidate for long-term cellaring.
Clonal Materal: Vosne-Romanee
