Tasting notes
Aged 10 months in neutral oak, the medium ruby colored 2017 Pinot Noir Anderson Valley has a bright nose of warm cranberry sauce, cinnamon stick and orange peel with crushed red and black cherries and hints of blue fruits and underbrush. It's light to medium-bodied and silky with great concentration, a soft texture and seamless freshness on the long, spiced finish. 160 cases produced.

Moving to the Pinot Noirs, the 2017 Pinot Noir Anderson Valley is a smoking value that’s all from Dijon clones and spent 10 months in neutral oak. There are only 160 cases made, but it has classic savory red and black fruits, wood smoke, and baking spice aromas and flavors, medium to full body, ripe tannins, and nicely integrated acidity. It shines for its complexity and balance and has classic Anderson Valley spice and savoriness.
