2023 Apple Barn Vineyard Pinot Noir

Anderson Valley

Rooted in a site with its own character and history, Apple Barn Pinot Noir is crafted with a thoughtful, hands-on approach. It’s quietly expressive and beautifully composed, offering a sense of place without feeling formal—an inviting bottle that rewards slowing down and sharing the moment.

Lush and vibrant from the first pour, the 2023 Apple Barn Pinot Noir opens with inviting aromas of strawberry jam, fig, black plum, sweet vanilla, and a hint of cola. On the palate, blueberry and cherry cola mingle with notes of orange peel and the subtle elegance of Earl Grey tea. The full-bodied structure carries smooth, integrated tannins and a generous mouthfeel, while bright acidity keeps everything fresh and balanced. The finish is rich and lingering, with layers of ripe fruit, warm baking spices, and a hint of caramel that adds depth and charm.

Located on the southern edge of Anderson Valley, this former apple orchard site produces vibrant, expressive Pinot Noir with refined textures and mineral undertones. Benefiting from a maritime-influenced climate, grapes ripen gradually, developing aromatic depth and the signature character of the Apple Barn Pinot Noir. Well-drained, gravelly soils support a range of clones and rootstocks, contributing layers of nuance and complexity. Warm afternoons paired with cool nights yield deeply colored fruit with concentrated flavors and fine, integrated tannins.
Winter and spring brought ample rainfall, restoring soil moisture and supporting balanced vine growth throughout a prolonged growing season. Moderate summer temperatures created ideal conditions for slow and steady cluster development, enhancing flavor concentration and retaining fresh acidity. In Anderson Valley, cooler temperatures allowed extended hang time for Pinot Noir, resulting in fruit with vibrant freshness and layered complexity.
