El Pino Club The Cusp 2023 Russian River Valley bottle shot
2023

The Cusp

The Cusp fully embraces the tension between Russian River fog and Sonoma sunshine. A proudly new-world Pinot, with a full, round body, packed with concentrated dark fruit, but beautifully balanced and unexpectedly complex.

Tasting Notes

Bright and lifted on the nose, this Pinot Noir opens with an expressive bouquet of strawberry, fresh raspberry, and red cherry, with layered hints of mushroom, wet leaves, and a distinct forest floor character reminiscent of a damp coastal woodland. The palate mirrors the nose with a core of vibrant red berry fruit, cherry skin, raspberry coulis, and a whisper of cranberry balanced by a grounded savory undertone of damp earth, moss, and truffle mushroom. Silky tannins and fresh acidity carry the wine through the lingering terroir-driven finish.
