2019 PINOT NOIR, PERRYGULCH

ANDERSON VALLEY ESTATE

“Deep ruby red in color, the Perrygulch Pinot Noir shows a complex, stylish floral and mineral nose. The start is elegant with powerful yet ethereal fruit that develops to more earthy tones. With a silky texture and freshness, this wine is precise and has a persistent finish. Truly a Grand Cru from Anderson Valley that will age gracefully for 10-15 years.” – Stéphane Vivier

 
95 Points, James Suckling

“Sliced oranges and peaches with raspberries and hints of tar. Savory and medium-bodied with a rounded texture and a juicy finish. Fine tannins and notes of hibiscus at the end. Shows tension and focus.” – James Suckling

GROWING SEASON

2019 started as one of the wettest on record with our last storm arriving in late spring. Consequently, that spring was a race against time with the vines developing very fast. Our Anderson Valley team worked relentlessly to keep the vineyards in balance. When summer arrived, the vines benefited from the mild temperatures of July through early September which allowed the fruit to develop complex and fully mature flavor profiles.

ANDERSON VALLEY ESTATE – SOIL SERIES

We grow the fruit for Long Meadow Ranch Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays among the rolling, mineral-rich slopes of Mendocino County’s Anderson Valley. Nestled against the banks of the Navarro River and dense groves of Coast Redwoods, our vineyards benefit from some of California’s best conditions for Burgundian grape varieties. But perhaps our favorite aspect of our vineyards is the diversity in soil types, and the opportunity it has presented to showcase many different faces of these wines we love.

FELIZ, CHARDONNAY
In the part of the vineyard flanked on one side by the Navarro River, lives our Chardonnay. Feliz is a fine loam that is well-draining and the darkest in color of the estate’s three dominant soil types. Chardonnay grown in Feliz loam tends to express a fresh vibrancy in the glass as well as a minerality that we love in our white wines.
PINOLE, PINOT NOIR
Our Pinole block has slopes that vary between 2-15%. Pinole loam is very fine, with a lot of well-draining sand and clay in which Pinot Noir vines flourish. Wine made from Pinole tends to have elegance and finesse, they are low in alcohol and high in acidity.
PERRYGULCH, PINOT NOIR

Perrygulch loam is the most dramatically sloped region of our Anderson Valley vineyards. The clay volumes are highest here, while the pH is the lowest. The vigor is also higher which tends to produce a higher concentration of flavors in the wines. This soil tends to produce powerful, concentrated, and structured wines.
