Annabella - 2024 - Annabella Pinot Noir Russian River - 750 ml.

Subregion: D.O. Bierzo

Annabella Pinot Noir Russian River is a welcoming, entry-level Russian River Valley Pinot from the Michael Pozzan (Annabella) stable. Sourced from vineyards in the cool, fog-influenced Russian River Valley of California, this 750 ml bottling offers an immediately appealing profile: red and darker cherry and berry aromas layered with an accessible spice note and subtle toasty French oak influence. The brief aging in French oak provides frame and nuance without overwhelming the wine’s fruit core, so it drinks with a smooth mid-weight texture and gently resolved tannin. This Pinot Noir is crafted to be enjoyed now — bright enough to lift lighter proteins and rich enough to stand up to a mushroom risotto or grilled salmon. Its combination of fruit-forward charm, a hint of savory spice and restrained oak makes it a reliable go-to for weeknight dinners, casual dinner parties or anyone exploring California Pinot Noir for the first time. Because it is made in an approachable style, it’s also a useful bottle for food-focused occasions: think roasted chicken with herbs, creamy mushroom dishes, mild cheeses or simply a charcuterie board. In short, Annabella’s Russian River Pinot offers classic varietal character from a respected California appellation in a friendly, ready-to-drink format that suits many everyday moments.
