DNA Vineyards 2022 Russian River Pinot Noir – WE91 WS90 Rated Estate Wine

DNA Vineyards 2022 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir offers an exquisite taste of California’s renowned wine country in every bottle. Hailing from Sonoma County’s celebrated Russian River Valley region, this elegant red wine delivers a harmonious blend of ripe fruit and subtle spice that’s perfect for both casual sipping and special occasions.

From the moment you pour a glass, vibrant berry-pie aromas captivate your senses, while the palate unfolds with layers of Bing cherry and raspberry sweetness framed by warm spice notes of sassafras and cinnamon. The complexity deepens with hints of licorice and vanilla-infused chocolate from oak aging, creating a balanced profile that matures gracefully thanks to touches of blackberry and plum. A lingering earthy undertone adds sophistication without overpowering the fruit-forward character praised by critics like Wine Enthusiast (91 points) and Wine Spectator (90 points).

Crafted to shine at an accessible price point, this 2022 vintage combines quality and affordability—ideal for those seeking a premium Sonoma County Pinot Noir without breaking the bank. Its juicy red cherry core pairs beautifully with salmon or herb-roasted poultry, while the smooth 13.5% alcohol content ensures approachability for everyday enjoyment or gatherings with friends.

With accolades from top wine publications and a drinking window extending through 2028, this bottle is a standout choice for Pinot Noir enthusiasts and collectors alike. Limited to 1,998 cases produced, it captures the essence of Russian River Valley’s terroir—cool-climate elegance meets bold flavor depth—in a single sip that’s ready to impress now or age thoughtfully over time.

Whether you’re hosting dinner or exploring California’s finest wines at home, DNA Vineyards’ 2022 Pinot Noir delivers exceptional value backed by critical acclaim.
