Winemaker Notes
Pretty aromas of citrus blossoms, sweet peas, lemon oil and orange peel mingle with notes of toast andcreamy oak. The palate is vibrant with layers of tropical fruit flavors married with lemon custard, goldenapple and a hint of spice. Crisp acid balances the mouth-filling texture making this wine supple and elegant.

Wine Enthusiast
This is a good deal for a wine of this caliber—a satisfying blend of grapes from Dutton Ranch (Mills Station Vineyard and Shop Block), Sangiacomo (Roberts Road Vineyard and Southern Sonoma Vineyard), the Denmark Vineyard and Sullivan Vineyard. Integrated oak girds a panorama of graham cracker and apple pie, buoyed by the acidity of a fresh-squeezed lemon.

On tranquil summer days, as golden sun kisses the valleys and hills of vineyards in Sonoma, unique air currents bring cooling breezes inland from the Pacific Ocean and San Pablo Bay. Wafting softly, with some gusts and gales, they glide through the vineyard rows. As they encounter steeper slopes and drift upward, they become anabatic winds. Soaring glider pilots rely on them for flight. We treasure them for the coolness they impart on their journey — a gift of nature that makes the vineyard more temperate and slows the ripening process, producing robust flavors and distinctive varietal characters in our grapes.
The exclusive Anaba wines are handcrafted from the best Rhône and Burgundian grape varieties grown at the Carneros Estate vineyard and in selected outstanding vineyard properties throughout Sonoma County. These Rhône-style wines are artistic blends, inspired by the rugged earthiness of France's Rhône Valley and duplicated in the rocky Sonoma soils. Anaba's Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs reflect the elegance and grace of the gently sloping vineyards found in Burgundy, crafted from similar sites in the Sonoma Coast and Carneros appellations.
Anaba... elegant, classic wines borne by the wind.
