Winemaker Notes
Moderate coastal temperatures benefit this rigde-top vineyard, highlighting it's Burgundian-like qualities and allowing for naturally lower alcohols. This texturally complex 30% whole cluster wine offers an elegance and leanness indicative of it's unique coastal appellation. An earthy sous-bois character lingers quietly below the lively spice of fresh Bay-Laurel and strawberries. The nose is almost dusty in texture, as mushroom and vibrant tea-rose combine with wet stone evoking the earthy aromas of a traditional wine cave. Initial woodsy flavors on the palate meld into fresh figs, pomegranate and stone fruits. An herbal almost sage-like component exists along with flavors of Earl Grey tea and orange zest. Bright minerality, dusty tannins and rose petal linger on the palate to provide a fresh, delicate finish.

In 2002, two generations of our family - both winemakers by trade - came together to create BAXTER, highlighting the very best in North Coast viticulture. Father & son partners, Phil L Baxter and Phil T G Baxter, produce handcrafted single vineyard wines focusing on the Anderson Valley and surrounding Mendocino appellations. Known primarily for their Pinot Noir, the pair combine over fifty years of experience, producing wines naturally, applying instinct and using old-world techniques. They craft wines that possess a notable ‘pureness’ of fruit, reflecting the unique identity of each vineyard site.
