2021 Wentworth Vineyard Pinot Noir Nash Mill Vineyard

The 2021 Pinot Noir Nash Mill Vineyard offers a grip of mineral, with violet undertones and appealing layers of berry and forest. From a dry vintage and high-elevation site impacted by the close proximity to the Pacific Ocean, the tannins are long and firm, with a fair amount of concentration and complex structure providing weight that contrasts well against the fresh underlying acidity. Enjoy now through 2031. With several exciting estate properties and a relatively new wine brand, Wentworth was started by Katie and Mark X. Wentworth, who purchased the Abel and Nash Mill Vineyards in Anderson Valley’s Deep End just 10 to 12 miles from the ocean, sites that were first planted in 1997 and 2003. Wentworth started planting the Wentworth Vineyard on Mendocino Ridge next to Drew in 2015, a year after buying the property. Amidst Douglas fir, pines, madrones, and tan oaks are small blocks of organic and regenerative Pinot Noir growing between 1,200 and 1,260-feet elevation just 3.5 miles from the ocean. Mark makes the wines with technical director Emma Kudritzki Hall.
