Our newest bottling from Nash Mill Vineyard in the Deep End of Anderson Valley was harvested on September 27, 2019 and after hand-sorting and de-stemming, the Pinot Noir was whole-berry fermented and then aged 16 months in new and neutral French oak.
Winemaker's tasting notes: The wine has a brilliant medium garnet color in the glass. As it opens up, the wine reveals aromas of bing cherry compote, asian 5 spice, and clove. Hold your glass up to the light and see the translucence of this cool-climate Pinot Noir. The palate fills the mouth with a mix of fresh and sweet cherry, a softness balanced with bright acidity. As the wine lingers, intense pure cherry flavors underpinned by cola nut, cocoa and sandalwood begin to surface. Complex yet remarkable fresh, this wine is quite enjoyable now, but can age for 7+ years. 98 cases produced.
Reviews:
96 Points, Wine Enthusiast (April, 2023): This is a beautiful Pinot Noir with a depth of flavor that will only increase in complexity over time. Find pronounced aromas and flavors of bright red cherry, strawberry and pomegranate, forest floor, toasted wood and violet. Fine-grained, silky tannins slide off the tongue; elevated acidity brings lightness and freshness from start to lingering finish. Editors’ Choice. —S.B
