Anderson Valley Pinot Noir

Anderson Valley Pinot Noir Wine Details
Price:

Description: Harvested on October 10 from the Wiley vineyard at the northern end of Mendocino’s Anderson Valley. This is one of the oldest pinot noir vineyards in the valley. A perfect south slope with enough elevation usually keeps this property above the marine fog layer that penetrates further inland towards Booneville. A long growing day and cool evenings ripen pinot noir while maintaining balance. The ’99 came to the winery in perfect condition making the winemakers job easy. This wine has a smooth entry with pretty spice and floral notes, rich ripe cherry berry fruit and a nice lingering finish. Very good with light veal dishes and poached salmon or cheese sauce pastas.
