91 Points: A Russian River Gem

2024 Buf Wehr Ranch Pinot Noir

The Critics’ Verdict

“Bright cherry, strawberry, cola spice, and orange peel aromas dominate the nose of this Pinot. The palate brings rich tannin structure, pithy acidity, and flavors of juicy raspberry, cinnamon, flowers, and earth through the finish.”

— Tom R. Capo, Wine Enthusiast

After nearly a year since our last update, we couldn’t think of a better way to welcome 2026 than with a celebrate of our newest release. The 2024 Buf Wehr Ranch Pinot Noir is officially hitting the tasting room floor, and the reception has been incredible.

This cool-climate Pinot captures the classic elegance of the Russian River Valley, balancing bright fruit with a sophisticated, earthy backbone. It’s a wine that invites you to slow down and savor the nuances of the 2024 vintage.

Suggested Pairings

  • Mushroom Crostini: The earthiness of the mushrooms mirrors the “forest floor” finish.
  • Duck Confit: Complements the rich tannin structure and juicy raspberry notes.
  • Aged Gouda: Try a slice from the Cheese Factory on the Plaza for a salty, nutty contrast.
  • Cherry Glazed Pork: Plays beautifully with the orange peel and cherry aromatics.
