2018 Pinot Noir Anderson Valley

Our Appellation Pinot Noir is crafted to showcase the best of Anderson Valley as a growing region and take advantage of the complexity and layering that can be achieved by blending from several esteemed vineyards rather than focusing on a single site. For the true Pinot Noir lover, Anderson Valley will always be a treasure. It is geographically confined – there will only ever be enough room for a handful of vineyards, and thus Anderson Valley wines are coveted gems. The flavor profile from this isolated outpost exhibits a wild, feral quality that distinguishes it from anything else in the New World. With this offering we’ve created a masterfully layered Pinot Noir from select Anderson Valley sites – structure and acidity from the “deep end” near the ocean, luscious mouthfeel from a vineyard further inland near Boonville – that expresses the unique essence of this special place.
