Named for the grandmother of a longtime family friend, Anna’s Block is an eight-acre parcel that was planted in 2001 on a gentle southern slope in the northwestern portion of our westside vineyard. The rows are planted in a north-south orientation which means the fruit hangs from east-west allowing for even ripening. Anna’s Block is planted to two different Dijonnaise clones of Pinot Noir that work well in tandem and bring a great amount of synergy and cohesiveness to the wine. Known for producing very high-quality wines in Burgundy, Clone 667 brings intense color, structure, depth and ageability, while the earlier ripening Clone 114 offers richness and stuffing.

Tasting Notes: Exquisitely perfumed and inviting, the 2019 Anna’s offers a rich bouquet of black cherry, dried rose petal, violet, and lavender. Wafts of hibiscus tea, anisette, and green peppercorn dance in the background, while the round, generous palate offers ripe fruit notes of Bing cherry and tangerine. Balanced umami flavors of savory black tea, trumpet mushroom, and dusty seabed minerality,Anna’s leaves a lasting impression
