Made from estate-grown, certified organic vineyards, including three single-vineyard designates (Navarro-Fairhills, Walraven, and Dach), the 2021 Chardonnay Estate is a light-bodied white that is tangy in acidity and fresh citrus notes, expertly showcasing both the cool-climate region and coolness of the vintage, one of the earliest harvests on record in the Anderson Valley. Meyer lemon and a twist of lime highlight the aromatic profile, with more lemon developing on the palate as a nice complement to the green and Golden Delicious apple flavors. Fresh, focused and crisp, this is a food-friendly wine that should age another 8-10 years.

Winemaker Darrin Low blends Pinot from two estate vineyards, 83% from Dach and 17% from Walraven, to make the 2021 Pinot Noir Estate, which is nicely perfumed in rose and lavender. Balanced between sweet summer strawberry, blackberry, and raspberry flavors, it offers a hint of baking spice and earthy forest floor around a core of soft, supple tannins and a lengthy finish. The acidity is ample enough to support aging for another 8-10 years.

This wine is opulent, with aromas of strawberry, raspberry, dark plum, orange zest and notes of dried sage on the nose. The flavors on the palate are boysenberry, pink grapefruit segments, vanilla cream and Red Vines, intertwined with dried tobacco, bittersweet chocolate and a dry, long finish. Hold or decant until 2034. Pair with sautéed chanterelle mushrooms.

This is the flagship Chardonnay produced by Domaine Anderson. It is a glimpse into the winemaking style of the house, highlighting the cool climate, sunshine and proximity to the Pacific Ocean. The nose conveys pithy apple, youthful nectarine and butterscotch candy. The palate intensifies these notes, along with high acidity, minerals, cinnamon and a mouthwatering finish. Pair with a seafood tower.

This brings freshness, charm and a good sense of juicy ripeness. Plump red and black cherries, raspberries and light cinnamon accents on the palate. A medium to full body laced with good acidity and gentle tannins for linearity. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.
