Tasting Notes
Aroma: 

Our 2020 Anderson Valley Pinot Noir opens with lush aromas of raspberry, plum and a hint of tobacco.

Palate: 

This full-bodied wine features a rich palate and a soft, luxurious mouthfeel overflowing with intense flavors of blackberry, cherry and hints of exotic spice. Structured and well-integrated tannins lead to a enticingly long and distinctive finish.

Winemaking
Vintage Notes: 

The 2020 vintage across California was a moderate growing season. An unseasonably dry winter led to an early bud break that began in February. A warm August kicked off harvest leading to lower yields with exceptional fruit quality. The grapes were sourced from a vineyard located in the west end of the Anderson Valley, between Navarro and Philo. The vineyards proximity to the Pacific Ocean provides the cooling effect that is so important in producing high quality Pinot Noir.
