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 2017, true lignification and chewy tannin from the stems warranted a Savoy Pinot distinct from previous vintages where whole cluster was used more sparingly. Extended time in bottle has further elevated its potential, honing the structured tannins and savory backbone into a confident yet elegantly rounded expression of Anderson Valley.
