Russian River
- Ships in July, August and September
Russian River’s seductive appeal captures the pleasure of taking in the wondrous view on its riverbank. Looking up, marvelous clouds, the color of Russian River’s standards - soft-toned white with a breath of violet-burgundy. In front representing the falls - the splendid river, a much deeper and rich burgundy violet, influenced by the vineyards it flows through in California’s Sonoma Valley. The long white beard, yellow in the back, is nestled in a white blaze. A gentle lavender border adds a satisfying touch of svelte poise. Illustrative of the steady hybridizing progress, 40 years ago our 1982 catalog did not have an iris this color -white standards, violet falls. Let’s raise our glasses of Pinot and give a toast: “To Russian River.”
