California is blessed with a range of temperatures, soil types, and microclimates, providing picture-perfect growing conditions for a plethora of grape varieties. In Northern California’s Mendocino County, Anderson Valley is home to some of the finest Pinot Noir wines in the state. The wines from the area have an earthy, rugged rusticity with an almost Old World character that melds with the juicy, fruit-forward New World flavors found in California Pinot Noir.

FEL Anderson Valley Pinot Noir blends fruit from throughout the region, ensuring a balance of tannin, acidity, and wild berry, cherry, and fig fruit flavors. While the fruit is present, the earthy elegance of the region shines throughout the wine, bringing savory notes of balsamic, olive, and forest floor. Sixteen months of aging in French oak, of which 30% is new, provides a subtle underlying note of spice and toasted vanilla. Pair the wine with roasted pork tenderloin or mushroom ravioli. #Cheers
