🏆 Gold Medal — 91 Points | 2025 International Sommeliers Choice Awards

One of the most respected judging panels in the world gave this wine 91 Points Gold. We'll let them speak first — and then let the wine finish the conversation.

Hogan's Run Vineyard sits in the heart of the Russian River Valley, where morning fog rolls in off the Pacific and keeps temperatures cool enough to grow Pinot Noir that is delicate, precise, and unmistakably California.

In the glass: light ruby with a luminous transparency. On the nose: fresh strawberry, red cherry, rose petal, and a whisper of forest floor. On the palate: silky tannins, juicy bright acidity, and a finish that lingers with a warmth that makes you reach for the bottle again.

The official Sommeliers Choice tasting notes: "Light ruby with a floral nose of red fruit and subtle black cherry. The palate is juicy and soft with integrated tannins and a sweet-steeped fruit finish that's plush and approachable."

Danny Sullivan describes this as his cocktail wine — the bottle he reaches for when he wants something beautiful without ceremony.

Perfect with: grilled salmon, duck breast, mushroom dishes, charcuterie boards, or as Danny puts it — just open it and enjoy.
