2021 Domaine Anderson Estate Pinot Noir Anderson Valley
Domaine Anderson follows CCOF certified organic farming and uses some biodynamic practices. Pale and shiny, this Estate Pinot has a ruby robe and a fragrance of cherries, sandalwood, and forest floor. Light textured, the palate offers raspberry fruit and lingering juiciness. I admire this direct, clean-fruited style of Pinot. 13.9% ABV | $55 (sample)
2021 Domaine Anderson Pinot Noir Dach Vineyard Anderson Valley
Dach Vineyard is a 17.5 acre parcel that surrounds the winery facility at Domaine Anderson. It is Demeter certified biodynamic. This wine is pale cherry color with a clear rim and aromas of ripe black raspberry. Unlike the Estate, it leans toward fruit rather than spice, earth, or incense. The flavors suggest dark fruits that have a pleasant bitterness, like blackberries and their seeds. The texture is lightweight, with a cleansing bite at the finish. 13.8% ABV | $75 (sample)
