A new player in Anderson Valley, Pennyroyal Farm is a winery and creamery in Boonville with a back story you will definitely want to check out. This wine would make a great first look at what they have to offer. Lively floral and tropical aromatics lead to a crisp and creamy palate of apple, pear, soft oak spice and bright acidity that gives the finish a nice push. It’s very tasty, and I appreciate the 13.1% alcohol number. A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
