Anderson Valley Pinot Noir

Mendocino County

This Banshee Pinot Noir comes from a combination of vineyards in Anderson Valley: Bearmen Bend Vineyard and Middleridge Ranch Vineyard. Bearmen Bend Vineyard is at the “deep end” of the valley located near the town of Philo at 480 feet elevation. This cool climate vineyard produces intense, dark fruit with structured tannins due to the coastal influences of wind and fog from its proximity to the Pacific Ocean. Middleridge Ranch Vineyard sits between two ridges above the town of Boonville on a 160-acre ranch with open, rolling hills and panoramic views of Anderson Valley. This vineyard is influenced by warm western winds, sun exposure and warmer temperatures leading to riper, more fruit driven flavors.
