Blue Farm Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2020
Bright, lively aromas of fresh berries and spices lead to a rich palate boasting intensely delicious raspberry, savory strawberry, cherry, black tea and baking spices climaxing with creamy vanilla on the finish. The supremely silky texture makes this winner a delight to drink anytime now through 2027+…and candidate for Sonoma’s top Pinot Bargain once again.
Blue Farm Winery
A native of Oberwesel, Germany, Anne Moller-Racke came to California in 1981 and
became vineyard manager for Buena Vista Carneros Winery in 1983. She was named
director of vineyard operations in 1988 and was promoted to vice president of vineyard
operations in 1997. During that time, Anne worked intensively with some of the
industry’s foremost authorities, including Andre Tchelistcheff, Dr. Phil Freese and Dr.
Paul Skinner. She helped establish what is now the Carneros Wine Alliance and brought
recognition to Carneros as an American Viticultural Area (AVA).
In 1991, Anne purchased a Farmhouse property in southwest Sonoma that included a
historical Victorian house, now her home, and a 9 acre parcel that she planted to vine
the following year. As she continues to cultivate her home vineyard, Anne recognized the
uniqueness of the site, which led to Blue Farm and it’s first estate vineyard, Anne
Katherina.
