Located in the Anderson Valley, Navarro Vineyards has been producing exceptional, fairly-priced wines since 1974. The winery is best known for its range of Pinot Noirs, including the showstopper Deep End Blend (available through futures). They also produce an age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon a delicious Zinfandel and their whites are noteworthy and food friendly with an exceptional Riesling, Gewurztaminer and Gruner Vetliner amongst many others.
Straw colored. 13.5% ABV. Charming nose of stone fruits, grass and citrus. Medium body with perfect acidity. Rich and creamy. Apple, grapefruit, pear and a hint of vanilla on the palate. The finish is long and supple. Delicious, refreshing and easy to drink. Best over the next several years.
My rating: 89 points.
The wine is $26 at the winery.
You absolutely must visit the winery if you are ever in the Anderson Valley and yours truly recently joined the wine club after a long hiatus.
