2017 Pinot Noir 1.5L Anderson Valley
Wine Notes Print tech sheet
Picturesque Anderson Valley continues to expand its reputation as a leader in New World Pinot Noir. Until recently, routine spring frost and fall rains created a misconception that this rugged outpost could not produce world-class wine. Persistence ultimately prevailed, and now Anderson Valley boasts numerous preeminent Pinot Noir vineyards. This bottling illustrates the superb structure and ripeness that have made this wine a favorite at Pangloss. It has the perfect amount of earthiness that reminds us of Burgundy but it is unmistakably a California wine, with vibrant aromas and gorgeous fruit.
