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.

The 2021 Chardonnay Estate is a complex, dynamic wine. Citrus confit, marzipan, white flowers and white pepper lend notable brightness to compliment the wine’s creamy, textural feel. This bright, vibrant Chardonnay is a winner.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Estate is a gorgeous, complex wine. Dark-toned fruit, iron, spice, new leather and licorice are some of the many notes that inform this potent Pinot Noir. The 2021 will benefit from a few years in bottle, as the tannins are pretty imposing in the early going.

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.
