2024 Rosé of Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley
A decade in, and this one’s something special. The warmer 2024 vintage gave us our palest rosé yet—so light it could pass for white wine, yet packed with energy. Spring florals, vibrant acidity, and zippy citrus make this one shine.
Made from 100% Pinot Noir from the Windsor Oaks Vineyard in the Russian River Valley, this vintage stays true to our style—bright, fresh, and layered. Fermented in neutral French oak, it’s got incredible texture with just the right amount of weight. Aromatics of lemon zest, peach blossom, and white flowers pull you in, while the palate delivers bright fruit notes and that signature crisp and lingering finish we love.

2023 Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley
The 2023 Paper Planes Pinot Noir comes from our longest-tenured vineyard, the Windsor Oaks Property, nestled in the Chalk Hill region of the Russian River Valley. 2023 was a picture-perfect season for us. The wet spring and cool summer allowed our Pinot to hang out on the vine for a full additional month. After picking our Pinot on September 25th, we destemmed and hand sorted the majority of the fruit, leaving about 25% as whole clusters. The stems added a beautiful texture to this delicate and nuanced fruit.
After pressing, we allowed the pinot to complete ML, and aged the wine in neutral French Oak barrels for nine months, before bottling on June 11th, 2024. The 2023 vintage developed beautiful aromatics of bright red fruits, red tea, with layered structure and our signature lively acidity.

2023 Grenache, Sierra Foothills
The 2023 Paper Planes Grenache comes from the Zula Mae Vineyard in the Sierra Foothills AVA, a fifteen acre organically farmed vineyard. After harvesting on September 25th, we destemmed 50% of the fruit, leaving the whole clusters intact, to add structure and spice notes. We coaxed out the incredible structure of this wine with extended but gentle punch downs.
After aging in our prized Stockinger Puncheon and neutral French Oak barrels for 9 months, we bottled on June 11th, 2024. Grenache has been one of our favorite varieties to work with since first getting our hands on it in 2017. This vintage hailing from the high elevation and rocky soils of Zula Mae vineyard delivered a gripping texture that we can’t wait to see evolve in bottle.
