Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

On the nose cherry, spice and forest floor dance out of the glass and tickle the olfactory. The mouth is equally nimble as more fruit flavors laced with Asian spice skip across the palate. A medium bodied, feminine wine that illustrates the beauty of Anderson Valley Pinot Noir.

Our 4th vintage making Pinot Noir from the Broken Leg Vineyard in the cool northwest corner of the Anderson Valley and we could not be more pleased. With 5 months in bottle this wine illustrates the beauty and depth of this elusive and beguiling varietal.

    An ethereal Pinot from a vineyard also well known for Syrah, this wine is aromatically pretty in violets and Asian spice, followed by textures of tart red cherry on the mid-palate. It is beautifully balanced and nuanced, light in body, with a memorable continuation of Asian spice on the finish.

Donkey & Goat  Winery Image
Donkey & Goat is a family owned and operated winery located in Berkeley California. Tracey & Jared Brandt craft their natural wines from Rhône varietals, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grown in the Anderson Valley, Mendocino Ridge and the undiscovered El Dorado appellation in the Sierra Foothills. Tracey & Jared trained in France, under Éric Texier, an up and coming Rhône winemaker who taught them the art and craft of making wines that speak to the soul about the earth from which they originate. Their maverick winemaking has helped pave the way for the natural wine movement.

They make their wines for the table not the cocktail glass. They make Rhône varietals in both colors plus an atypical Chardonnay and a Pinot Noir true to the varietals nature, striving to make wine as naturally as possible and done so since day one.

Anderson Valley, located in Mendocino County just above Sonoma County, is one of California’s coolest AVAs, allowing it a long growing season. Only 15 miles long, the region makes a slice eastward through the mountains, from the frigid Pacific Ocean. Dramatic diurnal temperature variations here preserve grape acidity and thus freshness in the finished wines. These are prime conditions for growing Pinot Noir, and the valley produces many fine versions. Characteristics of Anderson Valley Pinot Noir typically include crisp acidity, cranberry and strawberry notes as well as earthy notes of forest floor and mushroom.

Still Pinot Noir, however, is only part of the story. Pinot Noir, along with Chardonnay, are also grown for Anderson Valley’s exceptional sparkling wines. Produced via the traditional method, these offer a classic toasty note from lees aging, bright, complex fruit notes and a clean, refreshing character.
