Description

Juggernaut Pinot Noir

Juggernaut harnesses the power of nature to produce compelling wines as expressive as the alpha predators adorning our labels.

Our elegant and graceful Pinot Noir beckoned for a creature exhibiting finesse and beauty. The osprey, with its agility, precision and ferocity has adapted perfectly to the Russian River habitat, skillfully exerting dominance over its  environment.

Juggernaut Pinot Noir sources its grapes from the famous Russian River Valley in Sonoma County. The balancing influences of sun, fog and soil composition ideally matched to cool climate grapes make the Russian River Valley an ideal sanctuary for Pinot Noir.

Our Pinot Noir shows that patience and experience matter. Aging this wine for an average of 12 months in a combination of new and used French oak barrels imparts hints of vanilla, waffle cone and toasty oak. A moderate grip of acidity and low tannins allow this expressive wine to complement a wide range of foods.
