The Russian River Valley is one of the world's most preeminent winegrowing regions. Close to the ocean, the valley's summer warmth is moderated by fog and other cooling maritime influences, creating an ideal climate for Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Syrah grapes. Frei Brothers Reserve wines possess a fruit-forward character with intense aromas and flavors that reflect the land and the climate that created the grapes. Our 2003 Pinot Noir is a terroir based style that reflects the Russian River Valley.
