The 2022 Riva Ranch Vineyard Pinot Noir is a bright, buoyant, and altogether compelling example of the Arroyo Secco appellation. This year’s bottling offers up youthful aromas of ripe black cherries and briary currents that are seamlessly combined with an integrated layer of toasty oak spice, showing hints of baked cinnamon and chestnut.

Oakville Ranch is a rugged 370-acre estate, tucked into a rocky shelf 1000 feet above the Napa Valley floor. The ranch is in the foothills of the Vaca Mountains on the far eastern edge of the renowned Oakville AVA. The ranch is primarily chaparral, woodlands made up of scrub oak, manzanita and other drought tolerant evergreens. This bioregion is unique to areas with Mediterranean climates marked by normally mild wet winters and warm, dry summers and is a key indicator of the prime grape growing area.
