"Dopp Creek represents the broadest combined expression of our Estate, and embodies our most approachable and versatile wine. The 2022 Dopp Creek opens with pretty aromas of rich red fruit and savory herbs, which carry through on the palate. The wine is clean, balanced, and well-structured with a core of bright fruit and a round, supple mouthfeel. It finishes with a hint of pomegranate, rosemary, and warm spice." —winemaker
"Crafted from up to 100 individual small lots, the appealing Russian River Valley Pinot Noir captures the classic characteristics of this renowned variety and region. Deeply layered and velvet-smooth, offering notes of perfectly ripe blackberry, black cherry, dark plum and cranberry that blend with hints of toast, spice, lavender and rose. Rich oak sweetness characteristics feature on the mid-palate, while soft tannins add intriguing texture." —winemaker
"While the SCME is consistently our most accessible wine each year, this 2014 is still impressively dark, bold and structured. The wine starts with cherries, rose petal and raspberry and finishes with earth, leather and oak. It is pure, dense and tannic. As with previous vintages, this is one serious Pinot Noir that will gain texture and complexity over the next decade." —winemaker
"Avni 2022 Pinot Noir is focused and flavorful, yet harmonious and balanced, with an overlying elegance and velvety mouthfeel. Red fruits dominate the flavor profile with some black cherry, spice, black tea, fresh herbs, and a hint of black cherry, tar and rose petal, finishing with a round texture." —winemaker
"The nose is expressive of wild strawberry, mulberry, rose, and cedar. The palate reveals a harmony between fresh fruitiness and savory richness, with a persistent, vibrant finish." —winemaker
"Aromas of fresh raspberry compote are complemented by notes of baking spice, and fresh rain on a forest floor. Generous-yet-soft strawberry preserve flavors expand on the palate, with elegant, silky tannins. A mouthwatering acidity glides across the finish." —winemaker
"High Haven captures the essence of California's highest and coolest growing region, and the humble, nostalgic —slightly eccentric — charm of Anderson Valley. This rustic enclave, in the shadow of the giant redwoods, produces world-class Pinot that is deeply aromatic, balancing concentrated fruit with beautiful acidity." —winemaker
"The 2021 cuvée has the cranberry-like more tart fruit flavors that they always hope for in the Santa Cruz Mountains differentiating it from the more strawberry cola flavors of the North Coast and darker more blueberry flavors found further south. This is a maritime wine with acidity, lean, but not thin. There is just a touch of sweet richness from the 7% new oak." —winemaker
"The heady aromatics and refined silkiness of Pinot Noir show themselves here with a swirl of wild dark cherry and ripe, red plum aromas seamlessly layered with hints of dusty cocoa and dried herb complexity finishing with an intriguing touch of pink peppercorn spice to round out the lush fruit." —winemaker
"Bright cherry, strawberry and cranberry fruit flavors interwoven with layers of spice, clove, toast and earthy notes. Big yet polished, this Pinot Noir can be enjoyed now or cellared for 4-7 years. Enjoy!" —winemaker
"Dark ruby in color, the Campbell Pinot is a total charmer - lusciously smooth and pliant. The nose showcases exotic aromas of intense cherry, raspberry, blood orange and warm soil. After time open, the wine fans out on the palate in flavors mirroring the nose. For all its immediate pleasure, an open bottle after 4 hours uncoils and shows incredible depth and focus. The Campbell mouthfeel goes on and on, with flavors and aromas turning more ethereal and perfumed gliding on the palate with a character specific to this site in the northern Sonoma Coast/Annapolis AVA." —winemaker
"Produced from a blend of three clones. This wine is dark purple with notes of bing cherries and red currants. The oak is present but integrated." —winemaker
"A bright, magenta color with pinkish red edges shows intensity, youthfulness and concentration. Aroma sequences immediately leap from the glass with freshness and vigor. There are red berries, freshly cut straw, rhubard and elegantly perfumed red flowers. A blood orange zest inermixes with herbes de provence, cranberries, and tigh-grained French barrique. The structure of the wine is medium-plus at first, but as the wine unfolds in the mid-palate it begins to tighten and constrict. Acid levels are earnest in this wine, but there is a broad density that seems to take a combative stance to its brightness as the finish expands into chalky minerality, tangerine spice and an underlayment of crushed river rock. An argument can be made that this is the most impressive bottling that Jean-Nicolas Méo has achieved yet." —winemaker
"This fine-spun Pinot Noir opens with fresh aromas of coastal evergreens and wildflowers. Hints of early-season cherries follow, macerated in warm spices (anise, cardamom, allspice) and layered over earthy sandalwood. Ripe yet tangy dark berries, wearing a little dust from the patch, star on a lightly textured palate, giving way to savory herbs, delicately tannic red tea, and a pop of salty sea beans. A fascinating play of light fruit and dark spice is finished with a bright squeeze of orange peel." —winemaker
"Dark ruby red color. Lifted and perfumed instantly as the wine hits the glass, with inviting aromas of red and black fruits, rose and carnation that turn spicier with air. Anthill Farms uses the more approachable, open barrels from all their Sonoma vineyards to make up this wine. The 2021 vintage showed more structure than years past at all sites, with flavors that are pleasurable and succulent from the start. Loads of crunchy, energetic fruit coat the palate, remaining elegant and fresh, fanning out through the finish." —winemaker
"The 2021 Pinot Noir is fresh and lively with perfumed black raspberry and cherry aromatics wrapped in rustic forest floor notes. Juicy Bing cherry, savory herbs, and ripe dark berries create a complex and textured palate with acid structure and balance leading to a delightfully engaging finish." —winemaker
"Fruit Focused. Floral hints of fresh linen, hyacinth lilt over blackberry and black cherry preserve. Great acid and structure lead to a mouthwatering finish." —winemaker
