2024 Fall Release

Vineyard Profile

On a stunning hillside vineyard located in the heart of Anderson Valley, Savoy’s Pinot Noir grapes develop intense flavor over a growing season lengthened by the cooling maritime influence that funnels through the valley. A complex patchwork of clonal selections, each block is organically farmed to its own specific needs. Hand-picked at night and trucked to the cellar in the early morning allows for optimum handling and whole berry integrity. In 2021, a late-season frost in Anderson Valley resulted in reduced yields with small yet juicy clusters. While first aged for 17 months in once-used tight-grained French oak barrel and puncheon, an extra year in bottle has rounded its robust profile, resulting in a confident and dignified expression of the Savoy vineyard.

Wine Reviews

July 2023 | 96 points

“A youthful rich ruby with a hint of purple, the 2021 Pinot Noir Savoy is floral and perfumed with baby powder, black cherry, and lavender. Medium to full-bodied, it reveals a touch of iron-rich earth and is meaty, with ripe fruit, fine tannins, and a long finish. With a bit of pithy texture and ripe cherry fruit throughout, I would hold this another year or two and drink over the following 10-15 years.”
