Wine Notes Print tech sheet
Although yields from the Charles Vineyard were small in 2021, the quality is everything we’ve come to expect from this beloved Anderson Valley vineyard. The vintage showcases the impeccable structure and luscious ripeness that have firmly established this wine as a staple in our collection. With just the right touch of earthiness reminiscent of Pinot Noir from Burgundy, it proudly shows its Californian roots by boasting vibrant aromas and luscious fruit, effortlessly meshing Old World charm with the sunny spirit of California.
