DeLoach has gained a reputation for producing first-class Russian River Valley pinots. Their Heritage line shows how great winemaking, with grapes sourced from great suppliers, can make a true pinot at a very reasonable price.

This Pinot Noir is friendly without being simple. A portion of the grapes have seen time in oak, adding a bit of weight as well as some vanilla and warm spice. We get bing and tart cherry balanced by beautiful acidity over a foundation of earthiness and sweet hay.
