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.
Golden in color. 13.4% ABV. Pretty nose of tropical fruits, vanilla, baking spices and flowers. Medium body with medium acidity. Fresh and approachable with supple fruits. Pineapple, lemon and vanilla on the palate. Nice length on the finish. This wine has warm Spring night written all over it. A bargain at $18 from the winery. Best over the next 2-3 years.
My rating: 88 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.
