Jespersen Ranch, Edna Valley

In memory of our dear friend, Andy Blodgett. ‘Andy’s Block’ is a result of his attention to detail during the installation of Jesperson Ranch and his passion for creating one of the best Pinot Noirs of the Edna Valley. This wine has medium tannins with a nose that hints of kumquat & cherry and a long elegant finish. 

Our ‘10 Pinot Noir pairs well with shellfish, white meats, fine cheeses like creamy brie & gouda and pesto. It is ready to drink now, but can be cellared for a couple of years. We recommend that you decant our Pinot Noir for 30 minutes before drinking.
