California Pinot Noir with a French touch. This single-vineyard wine is big and juicy with notes of cherries, oak, and a nice balance on the palate. It has good depth with supportive acidity and not a tannin in sight. It is extremely smooth.

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.
