2022 Edmeades Vineyard, Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
The 2022 Edmeades is our 4th bottling from this historic vineyard—Anderson Valley’s oldest. Situated in the deep end of the Anderson Valley on the south side of Hwy-128, the vineyard faces SxSW and tumbles down into the Navarro River. Redwoods abound. A reliable breeze blows off the ocean, funnels through the vineyard, and down valley towards Boonville. We selected the three choice blocks—including some magic Swan Clone we first tasted in Copain's cellar back in 2019. From the droughty 2022 vintage, we used 33% whole clusters and rendered a wine with fresh cranberry, red currant, pipe tobacco, berry bramble, crushed clove, & red plum. When we’re feeling fancy, we pair it with osso bucco.
AROMA: fresh cranberry, red currant, pipe tobacco
FLAVOR: berry bramble, crushed clove, red plum
FOOD PAIRINGS: osso bucco, herb-rubbed lamb, shepherd's pie
