2022 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

Gruyère, Camembert, Gouda
Beef Bourguignon, lamb chop, prosciutto
Mushroom galette, duck fat french fries
Caramelized Brussels sprouts, beet salad

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!"
