This small family parcel on an unbelievably steep slope produces wines of elegance yet concentration, and this 2017 vintage exemplifies that. The aromatics of violets turned earth and crushed blackberries. The palate is intense, with juicy blackberry, black plum and clove wrapped around a core of earth minerality. Sous bois, soy-driven umami and smoked sea salt, drive this complex Pinot Noir towards a very long finish.

Winery Info
ANDERSON FAMILY VINEYARD
This vineyard has been their family's mission since they founded their 20-acres – an ancient pile of fractured basalt – in the Dundee Hills in 1989. And since, through years of clearing and planting, supply of superior wine grapes to several winery partners, and creation of their own hands-on small-batch bottlings, their goals have remained the same: plant on steep slopes, grow deep roots, deliver intense flavors. Enjoy.
