2016 Pinot Noir 1.5L True North

Given its unique geography, the cool climate of Anderson Valley is particularly sensitive to the whims of nature, which dramatically shape the vintage each year. The exception was 2016, a forgiving season that fostered extended hang time while maintaining balanced fruit. Briefly freed from the viticultural stresses common to this remote outpost, 2016 has come to be known as a grower’s vintage. Anderson Valley is a consummate place for crafting the archetype Pangloss Pinot Noir that serves as a reference point for all our others – one with layers of savory ripeness tempered by precise acidity, and the promise to age with the grace and delicacy of its esteemed counterparts in Burgundy.
