Blue Farm Pinot Noir King Ridge 2017
Bright, lively nose full of fresh berries. A fresh palate of ripe, jammy berries with background notes of slate and earth. Very exciting and rich on tongue, with plenty of tension and texture to balance it out. Drink anytime now – 2025.
Blue Farm Winery
Blue Farm began in 2001 when viticulturist Anne Moller – Racke planted seven acres of pinot noir behind her historic Victorian farmhouse in Sonoma. Anne designed the vineyard to produce one complete wine, blended from four clones.
In 2007, Anne helped her friend Timothy Mott with the planting and farming of his small vineyard of pinot noir, 1861, perched on a rocky hillside overlooking the town of Sonoma. A co-founder of Electronic Arts and executive of numerous start-ups, Tim and Anne then partnered in the expansion of Blue Farm. Critically acclaimed winemaker Kenneth Juhasz has helped make Blue Farm’s small lot, single vineyard wines since 2003.
