Heir Apparent Anderson Valley Pinot Noir, California, USA 2018

Description

The 2018 Heir Apparent Anderson Valley Pinot Noir captures the cool climate elegance that defines this Mendocino region. Anderson Valley’s coastal influence and frequent fog allow Pinot Noir to ripen slowly, preserving acidity while building layered aromatics.

In the glass, it opens with vibrant red cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry, accented by subtle rose petal, forest floor, and a touch of baking spice. The palate is silky and medium-bodied, showing bright acidity and fine-grained tannins that give the wine lift and structure without heaviness.
