Tasting notes
The 2019 Pinot Noir One Acre comes from vines planted at 1,600 feet in elevation, with exposure to the winds off the Pacific Ocean. Medium ruby, it has wild, alluring aromas of iodine, seaweed, iron and burnt orange, fleshing out to licorice-laced cranberry with time in the glass. The medium-bodied palate boasts powerful, earthy fruits in a silky, seamless frame, and it finishes with loads of spicy nuances. 444 cases were made. It deserves 3-5 years to unwind in bottle.

Dried-floral nose, accented by notes of black cherries and a hint of lime leaf. Medium-bodied with tight tannins. Lots of freshness and brightness on the palate. There is depth and complexity, but it’s all in harmony. Paprika and allspice come through. Such a delightful wine, bridging intensity with freshness. Drink or hold.
A wine of tremendous dimension and presence, the 2019 Pinot Noir One Acre stands out in this range of Anderson Valley Pinots because of its sheer breath. Time in the glass just brings out the wine's heady, expansive personality. Ripe red/purplish berry fruit, lavender, spice and licorice flesh out effortlessly. The One Acre is simply exceptional.
