CRESTA RIDGE VINEYARD, WAGGLER'S WAY – RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY

The 2017 Pinot Noir from Cresta Ridge Vineyard, Waggler’s Way offers an elegant, savory expression. With aromas of blackberry, plum, cola, moss, and subtle baking spice, this is supported by a refined texture and gentle persistence.

Why we love this Wine

The 2017 Waggler’s Way Pinot Noir captures the essence of Cresta Ridge Estate, one of the coolest and most elevated sites in the Russian River Valley. Planted to Dijon clones 777 and 115, this single-block Pinot delivers an elegant, savory expression of the region’s famed Goldridge sandy loam soils. Aged for sixteen months in French oak (40% new), it balances lush dark fruit with fine structure and subtle spice. Plush, layered, and focused, Waggler’s Way showcases the quiet strength of Cresta Ridge — a wine where richness meets restraint.
