Domaine Anderson Pinot Noir Estate

Winemaker notes

Color is a beautiful dark translucent garnet red. Bramble, blackberry and rose petal aromas are complemented with flavors of black cherry and currant. A firm structure with graceful tannins provides the frame for this well-built wine. Umami and salt hints balance the fresh tartness feel of the wine, lingering long on the palate.

2017

Wine Advocate 91: The pale ruby colored 2017 Pinot Noir offers scents of tar, blackberries and smoked cranberries with earthy undertones and a touch of dried orange peel. The palate is light-bodied with spice and earth-laced flavors, fresh, soft and nuanced with a long finish. 3,040 cases produced.

Vinous 92: The 2017 Pinot Noir Estate is a barrel selection taken from all three estate vineyards, but built on a core from Dach, which resembles in its earthy, savory profile. Crushed flowers, mint, pine, iron, dried autumn leaves and mineral notes are laced throughout this finely-cut, slightly nervy Pinot. Sweet floral notes add the closing shades of nuance.

Wine Enthusiast 92: This full-bodied wine is deep and flavorful, topping black-fruit flavors with layers of complex black-tea and forest-floor accents. The mouthfeel is broad but grippy, showing moderate tannins and good acidity.
