2020 Anderson Valley Edmeades Vineyard Pinot Noir

2020 Pinot Noir
94 Points
Very ripe and well concentrated, this full-bodied wine is saturated with delicious black plums and black cherries, gently spiced with oak notes of cinnamon, clove and ginger. An ultrasmooth texture comes from fine-grained tannins. Best through at least 2028.
About This Wine
The historic Edmeades vineyard, located near the town of Philo in Anderson Valley, sits at about 500 feet above sea level with clay soils and good sun exposure. These features encourage grapes to ripen earlier here than in other parts of the valley, minimizing the risk of encountering late season rainfall. Situated on a gentle knoll, wines from this vineyard display a richness with floral notes.
