2015

Elegant, refined and drinking beautifully right now!

Carpe Diem Pinot Noir is made in Northern California‘s Anderson Valley.
Over the years, this region has gained the reputation of an ideal terroir to grow Pinot Noir for still wines.
Grapes for the Carpe Diem Pinot Noir are selected exclusively from the best vineyards in the cool Anderson Valley.
This fog-shrouded region not far from the Mendocino Coast and the Pacific Ocean provides ideal growing conditions.

“From the team at Domaine Anderson, this is a blend of fruit from nine estate vineyards.
After tasting it with our panel, I later tasted it with Darrin Low and Arnaud Weyrich, who worked together on the blend, and who described it as a “New World style; a richer, riper pleasure wine,” comparing it to the “Old World, more transparent style” of the 2015 Domaine Anderson (also recommended here). In fact, I find this to be the more delicate and transparent of the two, open and racy, with a lacy fragrance of red apples and apple blossoms. Perhaps it is more varietal: It just tastes so much like pinot noir in its light wild-strawberry flavors and tight, slightly stemmy tannins. It’s completely appetite inducing, especially with King salmon roasted with chanterelles.”

Our Thoughts......

Elegant and reserved aromas are pretty with freshly crushed cherry, mushroom and black fruit tones.
Generous flavors ofplum, blackberry and leather are uplifted with a great texture, silky tannin and crisp acidity.
 Food Pairings: works beautifully with roasted beef tenderloin, creamy Parmesan chicken, salmon, duck, and semi-hard cheeses such as asiago and manchego.

A bit about Carpe Diem ......

Domaine Anderson is nestled in the breathtaking, fog-cooled hillside and mountain terrain of Northern California’s Anderson Valley. Purchased by Champagne Louis Roederer in 2011, the Dach family vineyard prides itself on its limited production and classical wine making style. The cooling marine climate characteristic of this region provides ideal conditions for the cultivation of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. All the wines wines are crafted with precision and care to express the uniqueness of the Anderson Valley terroir. This Pinot Noir for Domaine Anderson’s second wine, Carpe Diem, is made from 90% grapes sourced exclusively from wholly-owned Anderson Valley vineyards.
