2021 Pinot Noir 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.
Suggestions

What our team is saying:
"I really love pairing this Pinot Noir with any kind of earthy food. To complement the bold complexity of this vintage of Anderson Valley, I find myself constantly coming back to lamb dishes. Pro tip: Don’t be shy with the garlic and rosemary!"
