Palate
Vibrant plum, anise liqueur grounded by earthen tones of iron and gravel, deceiving depth lifted by perfumed black peppercorn, wild briar and deep rose. Rugged yet meticulous structure of coastal blueberry and black cherry underlain by spice box, timber and dried cherry notes with soft texture and velvety tannins. Rich like a vivacious Musigny, always a favorite.
Growing Conditions
From this esteemed vineyard in Anderson Valley our three unique hillside blocks grown in weathered sandstone are co-fermented creating complex layering of nuance and structure. Savoy vineyard is one of the most respected vineyards of Pinot Noir, planted in 1991 in collaboration of Rich Savoy and Ted Lemon (Littorai) located on 44 acres in Anderson Valley. Farmed using organic and sustainable methods with a modern vertical trellis system, the vineyard lies among gentle sloping southwest facing terraces leading to the Navarro River.
