Our final bottling from Nash Mill Vineyard in the Deep End of Anderson Valley was harvested on September 11, 2021 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: . 90 cases produced.

95 Points, Wine & Spirits (April, 2024):  Mark and Katie Wentworth farm this vineyard in the Deep End of Anderson Valley, 12 miles from the Pacific, located between two creeks that drain cold air down the hillside. Brian Mast and Jennifer Waits have based their winemaking in San Francisco, since their first vintage in 2005; now, in collaboration with winemaker Shalini Sekhar, they continue to work in the city, though the distance doesn’t seem to have impacted this wine. Its remarkable energy is apparent from the scent. There’s plenty of oak influence, but the wine supersedes it, bristling with the cool fragrance of spring roses. From there, the wine improves markedly with a day of air, subtle and fine in its baked-strawberry scent, the tannins present but never hard, the heady richness checked by fresh oceanic savor. It delivers a grand cru level of complexity and should age with grace.—J.G.

95 points, Decanter (September, 2024): "From the Nash Mill Vineyard in the eastern hills at the north end of the Anderson Valley, owned by Mark and Katie Wentworth. It clocks in at a balanced 13.7% alcohol and delivers the ripest, most fruit-forward style of the Waits-Mast wines I tasted, which means pushing the edge of leanness into bright, just-ripe Pinot Noir that has a creaminess so typical of the Nash Mill Vineyard. Add to that plenty of delectable cranberry and raspberry fruits, clove, and vanilla bean. A vein of iron-like minerality threads the entire wine, finishing with a medium-bodied richness and blood orange sprinkled with a dash of sea salt and rounded out by cedarwood spices." (Jonathan Cristaldi)

95 Points, Decanter (December, 2024): "Another dazzler from the Nash Mill Vineyard in the Deep End of the Anderson Valley, its coolest part. It's beautifully fresh Pinot Noir with savoury herbs, Oceanic salinity and juicy cherry flesh aromatics. The palate is concentrated with rays of fresh marine salinity shooting across a palate of deep pomegranate fruits and white pepper. Delicious." (Clive Pursehouse)

93 points, James Suckling (December, 2024): "This producer has a distinctive soft, silky approach to pinot noir and it shows beautifully in this relaxed, broad and complex wine. Savory elements of sauteed mushrooms, bay leaves and redwood bark with macerated cherries, sour cherries, cinnamon and cloves. It has a medium body, relaxed tannins and a lingering finish."

93 points, Wine Enthusiast (July, 2024): "This wine is bright, lively with aromas of fresh strawberry, watermelon, guava and cumin. The midpalate has flavors of red plum, raspberry, blood-orange zest and turmeric interwoven with white pepper, cinnamon, bittersweet chocolate and a dry finish. Pair with miso black cod. — Tonya Pitts"
