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.
Bright red in color. 14.5% ABV. Pretty nose of red fruits, citrus, baking spices and earth. Medium body with medium acidity. Plush, rich and earthy. Cherry, cranberry, blood orange and plums on the palate. Very young and very drinkable. Best over the next 2-4 years.
My rating: 91 points.
The wine is $29 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.
