The father and son team of Thomas and Jeremy Baker run this new winery (formerly Davis Bynum Winery) in the heart of the Russian River Valley that specializes in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. This Pinot Noir, a blend from three vineyards, focuses on ripe dark fruit flavors accented with spice and herbal notes. Weighing in at 14.3% stated alcohol, it’s a muscular style of Pinot Noir best suited for hearty fare.
