The Architect - James Hoban Reserve - 2021 Pinot Noir - Russian River Valley

James Hoban, the visionary Irish-born architect, was personally selected by George Washington to design the White House in 1792. After British forces burned the residence in 1814, Hoban was also commissioned to rebuild it, restoring the iconic symbol of American democracy and resilience that stands today. 

From the fog-kissed vineyards of Russian River Valley, this 2021 Pinot Noir is a beautiful expression of its cool-climate origins. It unfolds with a captivating aromatic bouquet of ripe blackberry, cranberry, and floral rose, elegantly layered with warm baking spices, cardamom, anise, and subtle earth. On the palate, vibrant cherry juice and pomegranate lead a lush profile accented by notes of cola, black tea, and bright lemon zest. Silky and velvet-textured with bright acidity, the wine offers a perfect balance of ripe fruit intensity and refreshing finesse.
