Ondine Chattan Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2021
About the wine
An opulent treat from Sonoma
This Pinot is silky-smooth - and layered with lavish flavors of black cherry and warm cinnamon spice.
Ondine lovingly refers to the Russian River Valley as “Pinot paradise.” Ever-changing levels of sun and fog help the fruit here ripen like nowhere else on earth – and she’s the winemaker to capture the magic.
Thousands of Angels rated the last vintage 94%. Now the long wait is over! This vintage is ready to be enjoyed by Pinot lovers far and wide – your exclusive Angel savings is the cherry on top!
Best before
This is youthful and will benefit from some time in the cellar to further integrate the fruit and soften the tannins.
Serving advice
This young wine will benefit from aeration. Hold onto this wine for at least 2 weeks after shipping to allow it to settle, and if you have the patience to cellar it for a few months, all the better!
Food match
Pork is a natural pairing with Pinot Noir. Another favorite is plank-grilled salmon with lemon. For vegetarians, try falafel with hummus, tabbouleh, tomato and peppers (if you dare).
Contains sulphites

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Ondine Chattan
Unmistakably one of the North Coast’s top winemaking talents, Ondine Chattan’s worked for wine institutions – famed wineries like Ridge Vineyards, Cline Cellars, and spent decades running famed Healdsburg winery Geyser Peak.
Does Geyser Peak sound familiar? It should – it’s the long-time winemaking home of one legendary Daryl Groom – and it’s where these decades-long colleagues and friends met. They’re still close… in fact, they might collaborate on exclusive wines now and again.*wink.*
Ondine is awestruck by the wine community Angels have built – and she wants to help it grow. “I truly connect to people through the wines I make,” she said. “The stories of the growers, the vineyards, and the process behind the wine are as vital to me as grapes.”
