Anaba, Sonoma Valley (California) 2012

Oct 1, 2015

By Rich Cook

This wine takes its name from the wind turbine that powers the winery tasting room and irrigation pumps for the estate vineyards.  The fruit comes from two vineyard sources — Landa in the west facing foothills of the Mayacamas range, and Bismark, which sits up the slope above the fog line. It’s bright and lively, with aromas and flavors of ripe berries, black cherry, fall spice and a touch of white pepper.  It’s very fresh tasting, with glittering acidity and a long, well integrated finish.  Very nice!  Contains 43% Grenache, 41% Mourvedre and 16% Syrah.
