Filigreen Farm is situated on 97 acres in Anderson Valley, just outside of the town of Boonville as you're heading northwest. It is a Demeter-certified Biodynamic and CCOF-certified organic diversified farm whose primary products are tree fruits, blueberries, olives, wine and table grapes, and houses a production garden (flowers and vegetables), livestock, apiary, and an ongoing inquiry into water revitalization.
Situated between mixed coniferous forest of redwood and fir to the west and oak woodland to the east, Filigreen borrows from both climatic zones to house a diverse range of cultivars. Chris and Stephanie Tebbutt are stewards of Filigreen Farm and work with other families year-round to experiment and research different techniques to enable the farm to be productive in an independent and sustainable way. In 2022, we harvested fruit from Filigreen Farm on two separate dates in September.
Tasting Notes: Our first red Pinot Noir from Filigreen Farm is vibrant in every way, from the ruby-garnet color to the bright red fruit aromatics to the zippy acidity on the palate. The 2022 Filigreen Farm Pinot Noir exhibits dense aromas of pomegranate and raspberry, interlaced with floral, herbal and spiced black tea notes. Brisk acidity awakens the palate, welcome a host of food pairings, from a local farmstead cheese or a grilled salmon topped with herb butter. As medium-rich red fruit fills the mouth, a long finish and fine grained tannins linger. This wine is ready to drink now, but the acidity and structure suggest additional layers will be revealed with age. 142 cases produced.
Reviews:
94 Points, Decanter (December, 2024): "Sourced from Filigreen Farm, a 97-acre Demeter-certified biodynamic and CCOF-certified organic site in Anderson Valley, just outside of Boonville. Aged for 16 months in French oak, this medium-bodied, generous Pinot Noir is elegantly crafted with finely textured tannins and wonderfully juicy dark cherry and strawberry fruit. It offers nuances of fragrant cedarwood, green tobacco, fennel seed, and limestone minerality with a subtle salty edge, alongside enticing notes of mocha and crushed cocoa nibs."
94 Points, Wine Enthusiast (Feb/Mar 2025): "raspberry, lingonberry, cardamom, violets and notes of chicory on the nose. Flavors on the palate are cranberry-rhubarb coulis and grilled blood orange, with layers of coriander, mineral and a dry, juicy finish. Hold or drink until 2034. Pair with grilled seabass. —T.P."
