Radio-Coteau Description
Vineyard notes: On a stunning hillside vineyard located in the heart of Anderson Valley, Savoy’s Pinot Noir grapes develop intense flavor over a growing season lengthened by the cooling maritime influence that funnels through the valley. A complex patchwork of clonal selections, each block is organically farmed to its own specific needs. Hand-picked at night and trucked to the cellar in the early morning allows for optimum handling and whole berry integrity. Extended time in bottle has further elevated its potential, honing the structured tannins and savory backbone into a confident yet elegantly rounded expression of Anderson Valley.
Unfined & Unfiltered.

Just as it was from barrel, the 2016 Pinot Noir Savoy offers quite a bit of immediacy and impact. Although a very pretty wine, the Savoy is stylistically quite different from the other wines in the range. Sweet red cherry, plum, blood orange and mint meld into the racy finish in this succulent, expressive Pinot. -- Antonio Galloni
