Ferrington Vineyard
First planted in 1969 and owned by Kurt Schoeneman since 1996, the 70 acre Ferrington Vineyard is well established as the benchmark in the Anderson Valley. Located just outside the town of Boonville, the vineyard soils are made up of decomposed sandstone, clay and rock and planted to mostly Chardonnay and Pinot noir.
Anderson Valley
Anderson Valley's Pinot Noir is considered great due to the region's unique cool climate, influenced by coastal fog and ocean breezes, which is ideal for growing this delicate grape. This climate produces wines with vibrant red fruit flavors, high natural acidity, and complex aromatics, balancing richness with restraint and a distinctive sense of place. The valley's specific terroir, the quality of its winemaking community, and the focus on sustainable and organic farming practices further contribute to its exceptional reputation.
Vintage
The 2023 growing season is characterized by exceptional quality promoted by an extended maturity due to below average temperatures during the summer months. Light late seasons rains increased the freshness and brightness of the wines.

A definitive Anderson Valley blend from six Pinot Noir clones across three vineyards. Inviting aromas of ripe cherry, strawberry, and pomegranate. On the palate, it unfolds with layered flavors of cinnamon, black cherry, raspberry cordial, and vanilla bean, where focused tannins envelop, leading to a rich red fruit finish with blue fruit undertones.
93 Points
Big, forward bouquet with pear, golden apple, apple blossom, and dried orange peel. Loads of lime and grapefruit on the palate, maintaining balanced acidity and freshness. Subtle notes of honey and white flowers add depth to this lively wine.
