Single Vineyard Series 

Gowan Creek Vineyard, Anderson Valley, Pinot Noir

Nestled in the heart of Anderson Valley, Gowan Creek Vineyard embodies a unique synergy of the region’s warmer climates and the cool, northern “deep end.” Planted in 2000, its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, coupled with extended summer nights, creates a significant diurnal temperature swing. This distinctive climate fosters a wine of remarkable expressiveness and complexity.

The 2020 Gowan Creek Pinot Noir, a one-time exclusive offering, showcases its rich and robust character. It opens with inviting aromas of cedar, spice, and sun-kissed herbs. On the palate, powerful tannins and vibrant acidity frame a smooth texture, revealing layers of intense cherry and sweet herbal notes. A true testament to Anderson Valley’s exceptional terroir.
