2021 Pinot Noir Family Collection: A Vineyard’s Legacy in Fall
Introducing the 2021 Pinot Noir Family Collection—a vibrant expression of heritage, craftsmanship, and the distinctive terroir of a vineyard personally planted and cultivated by renowned winemaker Kale Anderson. Known for producing acclaimed wines for elite clients, Anderson brings the same precision and passion to this Pinot Noir, resulting in a wine of finesse, structure, and seasonal elegance. With its refined complexity and autumnal depth, this wine is perfect for harvest dinners, fireside evenings, and festive fall gatherings.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in color, this Pinot Noir opens with an inviting bouquet of wild raspberry, red cherry, and earthy forest floor. Accents of lavender, rose petal, and a trace of baking spice create aromatic intrigue. On the palate, it is graceful yet grounded—silky tannins, delicate oak, and refined minerality frame the lush berry fruit, offering layered complexity and a smooth, lingering finish. Its vibrancy and balance make it as compelling on a crisp autumn evening as it is in the cellar for years to come.

Fall Pairing Suggestions
The 2021 Pinot Noir Family Collection is a versatile partner for fall’s rich and comforting flavors. Pair it with roasted duck or herb-crusted pork tenderloin, mushroom risotto, or a caramelized onion and goat cheese tart. Its earthy undertones enhance seasonal favorites like roasted root vegetables, wild mushroom ragù, or butternut squash ravioli. For lighter fare, enjoy it with beet and goat cheese salad, fig and prosciutto flatbread, or aged cheeses with spiced nuts. Whether gathered around a harvest table or savoring a fireside evening, this Pinot Noir brings elegance and expression to every fall occasion.
