Stéphane Vivier, a Burgundian who had been making the wines at Hyde de Villaine, now works at Long Meadow Ranchâ??s organically farmed estate in the Deep End of Anderson Valley (certified CCOF as of the 2017 vintage). This pinot noir comes mostly from vines planted in 1996 and 2000.

Intense and lively, the nose is full of sweet spice and black currant aromas. On the palate, there are favors of violet and rose followed by hints of cherry and spice. An agile wine with developing minerality and notes of earth and fresh herbs. A truly multilayered wine with so much energy in the fruit. Enjoy now or let it develops for the next 10 years.
