Tasting notes
The 2017 Pinot Noir Savoy Vineyard comes from the Anderson Valley, a region that sees cold winters and hotter summers, all resulting in a slightly compressed growing season. I love this wine, which displays a medium ruby color followed by a great bouquet of kirsch, dried cherries, loamy earth and spice. It’s surprisingly elegant and silky on the palate, with moderate tannins and a great finish. This is a beautiful, complex, elegant Anderson Valley Pinot Noir to drink over the coming 7-8 years or more.

The 2017 Pinot Noir Savoy Vineyard, from Cliff Lede's vineyard in Anderson Valley, is one of the more obviously ripe wines in this range. Ripe dark cherry, plum, spice and leather are all finely knit. The Savoy is medium in body and gracious, as all these wines are, but it also has a kick more fruit intensity and a greater feeling of ripeness, along with soft contours that all contribute to its racy personality.
