DESCRIPTION
A blend of two beautiful and distinctive sites, the 2020 Anderson Valley Pinot Noir is a unique composition of two juxtaposing sites. Edmeades Vineyard lies in the middle of the valley on a gentle knoll and provides richness and floral notes. Skycrest, which is nestled in the mountains on the Eastern edge of the valley at 2,000 feet, displays dark fruit and structure. These two sites provide a unique and delicious view of the valley

"
The nose is crisp, perfumed red fruit backed by notes of buttercream. The palate entry is light and fresh with pomegranate, cranberry and strawberry in the core that are luxuriously interwoven. It finishes with mouth-coating rhubarb and herbs. A very solid wine! Drink 2023 - 2027."

Winemaker’s Favorite Aspect:
The remote-ness of Anderson Valley, it’s always a breath of fresh air to spend time in the vineyard there
Climate:
Warm days, cool/cold nights, the valley is cooled by the fog that rolls in from the mouth of the Navarro River
Regional Overview:
The mix of valley floor and mountainside fruit produces a dark, yet crunchy and focused Pinot Noir
FOOD PAIRINGS:
Anderson Valley Pinot Noirs pair with cheeses of all sorts - Soft Brie, Camembert, Gruyere – or make some filet mignon crostini's with whipped goat cheese for something a little more substantial.
