Comments
This wine is a blend from two vineyards - 80% Ketcham Vineyard, and 20% O’Neel Vineyard. The nose is pure Russian River Valley with its signature spice and bright cherry and raspberry fruits. The wine show firm acidity, and this vintage is, again, firm and snappy. The palate has red fruit, mineral, spice and cola, and shows a softer supple side than the 2005. 840 cases produced.

Mark Ketcham and Steve Rigisich both retired after selling successful computer software companies. Both of them are wine loving collectors and compatriots. Mark purchased sixteen acres of vineyard off Eastside road outside of Healdsburg in the heart of the Russian River Valley AVA....thus Ketcham Vineyard. Steve is the founder of the Pinot Days Festival in San Francisco. Ketcham and Rigisich scored Michael Browne as their winemaker. He is the partner of the cult followed Kosta Browne wines; the Wine Spectator's highest rated pinot noir producer in recent vintages.

I was very impressed by the depth of fruit and overall balance of this beautiful expression of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. Ideal for enjoyment with everything from dark meat poultry to seared Ahi.
