2021 Pinot Noir Family Collection: A Vineyard’s Legacy in Summer
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 summery vibrancy, this wine is perfect for warm-weather dining and sunset toasts.

Tasting Experience
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 warm evening as it is in the cellar for years to come.

Summer Pairing Suggestions
The 2021 Pinot Noir Family Collection is a versatile partner for the fresh, bright flavors of summer. Pair it with grilled salmon or cedar-planked trout, herb-marinated chicken, or a summer mushroom galette. Its earthy undertones enhance seasonal dishes like grilled zucchini with pesto or farro salad with roasted beets and feta. For lighter pairings, serve it with burrata and heirloom tomatoes, a strawberry and goat cheese salad, or a fig and arugula flatbread. Whether hosting an al fresco dinner or relaxing with a glass at golden hour, this Pinot Noir brings elegance and expression to every summer setting.
