2018 BLANC DE NOIRS

ANDERSON VALLEY ESTATE

“Pale green with a golden sparkle throughout, the nose is intense with dominant floral and citrus notes mixing with jasmine, bergamot, lemon curd, fresh fig, and apple tart. The mousse is delicate, persistent, and gentle. On the palate, floral notes return accented with orchard fruit and Mirabelle plum. Elegant with a minerality throughout.” – Stéphane Vivier

 
91 Points, Wine Advocate

The 2016 Blanc de Noirs was made in the style of an Extra Brut and disgorged in January of 2020. The nose opens with deep aromas of pie crust and crushed apples with very pretty top notes of elderflower and petrichor. The palate is medium-bodied and dry with savory flavor layers and lively mousse, and it finishes long and perfumed with tangy uplift.” – Erin Brooks

91 Points, James Suckling

“Plenty of fruit with peach and pie crust undertones. Nice bead. It’s full and flavorful with lots going on. Fruit-driven, but not heavy…” – James Suckling

GROWING SEASON

2018 will be remembered as a colder and slower season in Anderson Valley, producing wines with profound elegance and delicacies. Bud break started about a month later than the last 5 vintages, and at a date recognized as being more in line with the historical averages. A mild spring allowed for a nice crop set and it was followed with a “cold” summer for Northern California standard. It resulted in slow maturing and perfect conditions for Chardonnay & Pinot Noir, retaining freshness while developing intricate complexity of flavors.
