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. Gorgeous nose of stone fruits, green apple and honeysuckle. Full bodied with just the right amount of acidity. Rich and toasty with great mouthfeel. Pear, lemon oil, vanilla bean and honey on the palate. Exceptional length on the finish. Good now but will reward more time in the cellar. Best over the next 3-5 years.
My rating: 91 points.
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.
