Cakebread Cellars Two Creeks Vineyards Pinot Noir Anderson Valley 2023 750ml

Cakebread Cellars is a Napa Valley family winery, and Two Creeks Vineyards is its Pinot Noir from Anderson Valley in Mendocino County. Niki Williams is the winemaker.

In 2023, 98% of the fruit came from two family estate vineyards on Anderson Creek, both former apple orchards: Annahala, the cooler and foggier site, and Apple Barn, gravelly and warmer. The grapes were picked at night, hand-sorted and fermented block by block in small tanks with about 20% whole clusters, then aged 10 months in French oak, 35% new, and bottled in August 2024. The winery gives 14.2% alcohol.

The winery describes fresh raspberry and delicate florals, then a medium-bodied palate of strawberry and black cherry with spice, sweet toasty oak, silky tannins and a bright berry finish.

Against Sea Smoke Southing 2023, Cakebread is estate Anderson Valley fruit at about two-thirds the price; for a polished Pinot to pour at dinner now, choose Cakebread.

The winery suggests mushroom flatbread, cedar-planked salmon or roast chicken.
