2019 Estate Pinot Noir 1.5L
Translucent pale red berry color. Aromas of rose petal, red cherry with a hint of smoke and incense reveal elegant and silky texture on the palate. Savory flavors of crushed raspberry, fresh mushroom and red bramble.

“Aromas of bright red fruit and berries, dried herbs and a hint of mushroom, as well as hibiscus, watermelon and dried strawberry. Medium-bodied with soft tannins. Pleasantly spiced. A bit of tobacco, too. Salinity at the end. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification.” -- James Suckling, March 2022

"The 2019 Pinot Noir Estate Vineyard is a very pretty, fragrant wine redolent of crushed red berry fruit, chalk, mint, white pepper and orange peel. I admire its energy, class and transparent expression of Anderson Valley. This airy, weightless Pinot is a total charmer." -- Antonio Galloni, June 2023

"Two-thirds of this wine grows at Dach, the biodynamic vineyard surrounding Roederer Estate’s winery in Philo. Much of the rest comes from Walraven in Boonville, certified organic. Panelist Lisa Granik, MW, found the wine to be dynamic and alive, while Tina Vaughn pointed to its layers of flavor. This is quiet up front, with a pop of pomegranate fruit contrasting the wine’s warm elements with cooler tension." -- Joshua Greene, Feb. 2023
