About This Wine
Bramble & Bower
Pinot Noir
This exceptional wine is part of our Fine Wine Collection.
Winemaking Our Pinot Noir is a blend of select vineyard sites in the cooler end of Anderson Valley. Harvest took place across three days in mid-September, followed by careful sorting to keep only the best fruit. After crushing, the juice soaks with its grape skins for five days, gathering color, texture and flavor. Fermentation takes place with native yeast, lasting twelve days before the wine enters 30 percent new oak barrels, where it is left to mature and harmonize before bottling.
Vintage Anderson Valley’s 2021 vintage was one of those special years where everything fell perfectly into place. After a dry winter, spring began with cool weather as roots ventured far underground to find water. In the deep end of the valley, chilly nights and ocean breezes kept summer temperatures warm and mild. This allowed grapes to ripen steadily into August until well-timed heat spikes carried this pristine vintage to the finish line resulting in expressive wines that were truly made in the vineyard.
Pairing Logic This Pinot Noir is crafted in a fuller style, making it an excellent dinner companion. The best pairings will accentuate its rich flavors and complement its balance of fruit and oak. Juicy cuts of meat like chicken thighs, pork or beef tenderloin will emphasize the wine’s dark fruit notes and velvety textures. Vegetarian dishes featuring root vegetables and mushrooms will play into its earthy and oak-driven characteristics. Take these pairings further by grilling on cedar planks and seasoning with dried herbs.
