The Alchemy of Russian River Royale started on a trip to Sonoma Country by a group of
East Coast wine loving friends, looking for great Pinot Noir, using old world Burgundian
winemaking techniques, but incorporating and embracing all that is the sunshine and
terroir of California.
Their shared passion and appreciation for the art of making wine, the importance of
terroir and growing premium grapes is the genesis of Russian River Royale Pinot Noir
and the soon to come Chardonnay. Their Pantomine Pinot Noir has a nose with copious
amounts of ripe berries with subtle hints of spice. The palate boasts an exquisite explosion
of cherry, fresh ripe berries and sassafras, finishing with the slightest hint of tasty aged
French oak to give the wine its wonderful structure.
