"Ferrington Vineyard rests on a gently sloping bench overlooking the town of Boonville in the heart of Anderson Valley in Mendocino County. One of the earliest sites to be planted in this historic appellation, Ferrington boasts some of the oldest Pinot Noir vines in the region. These old vines produce wines with wonderful complexity and effortless balance. The Anderson Valley in general, and Ferrington in particular, is famous for marrying depth and density with electric acidity, and the 2019 Ferrington Vineyard Pinot Noir is a perfect example of this. Tangy blue fruit, tart cherry, elderberry, cranberry, and pomegranate notes all contribute to a medley of fruit impressions that evolve slowly in the glass. Notes of black pepper, struck match, and copper penny minerality add complexity." —winemaker
"Gem-like, ultraviolet ruby color in the glass. Extremely compelling aromatics open with minerals, umami, ocean brine – this conveys a subtle, estuarine wildness to the wine. Red and black berry flavors build in intensity, as does a violet floral note. There is tension between glossy black raspberry, blood orange, black cherry, and the wine’s bracing salinity. A perfect balance of brightness and depth – the finish is seamless and totally alluring." —winemaker
