2016 • Anderson Valley
Our best wine yet — Peak-season cherry, dried currant, and crushed rose. Prolonged dark oak finish balanced with bright acidity and subtle tannins. Everything you’d expect from a mild wine-country red, and way more.

Anderson Valley is the hidden gem of California’s wine country— with the coolest temperature, the valley is perfect for the cultivation of Pinot Noir.
We found that the unique combination of geographical and climatic conditions found in the northwestern end of Anderson valley creates a Pinot Noir that is uniquely sweet and uncomplicated.
Our in-house sommelier tasted through the best Pinots of Anderson Valley, blind. He selected the best – based on quality alone.
The result— a truly perfect Anderson Valley Pinot Noir.
