Classic Russian-River Pinot for the People
Savvy Wine Access Pinot-philes know that Michael Pozzan routinely conveys Russian River succulence and vibrancy for way below the going rate. That’s why one fan’s five-star review called Pozzan wines an "an automatic case buy" and another promised to “make this my house Red next time it becomes available.” That enthusiasm has made Pozzan one of our top-selling Russian River Pinots of the past two years.
This is classic Russian River through and through, with rich Bing-cherry and red-rose aromas accented by hints of clove and spice. On the palate, the wine is pure silk, with luscious red fruit interwoven with spice and elegant acidity. Showing a long, soft finish, it begs for another sip, and then another, until you’ve emptied the bottle in a hurry—just like we did.
A taste of that satiny elegance shows exactly why Pozzan’s Pinots have previously graced the wine lists at the restaurants of such internationally respected chefs as Michael Symon and Masaharu Morimoto. The wines’ knack for delivering the classic calling-cards of Russian River Valley at populist prices is unmatched.
Michael Pozzan Winery is a family affair—operated by Pozzan, his wife MaryAnn, and their two sons—but their secret weapon is consulting winemaker Molly Lippitt Lyman, who has worked alongside such luminaries as Philippe Melka and Heidi Barrett, and at estates like Duckhorn, Paradigm, and Moone-Tsai. Under her watchful eye, the wines have only gone from strength to overdelivering strength in recent years.
Drawing seamless spice depth from 17 months in French oak, Pozzan’s Pinot Noir manages to capture the mystery enshrouded in the Russian River Valley’s signature fog. It’s a beautiful expression of the region’s terroir, and a pleasure to drink.
