Scenic Valley Farms is a farm that makes wine. This might sound like an obvious thing to say, and while it’s technically true that all vineyards are farms that make wine, it’s truer here. Vineyard manager Brian Zelinsky’s parents Bob and Pam started the farm in 1970, and in addition to grapes, the farm produces all the other things the valley is known for: pears, wheat, grass seed, hops, and hazelnuts. The farm is dedicated to ethical farming, which means a whole list of environmentally sound practices and they employ their vineyard crew all year long. The extremely human scale and unfussy character of the operation come through in this classic Pinot Noir. There are aromas of mashed black cherry and raspberry, with fresh turned earth and underbrush and suede, cardamom, clove, and black pepper. The palate is an open book, full bodied as Pinot Noir goes, with black cherry, strawberry, and blood orange fruits dusted with a bit of earth and carried by velvety tannins and freshening acidity. This Pinot Noir is easy to get along with and easy to drink. As winemaker Gabriel Jagle puts it “I just want to make the wines that my friends like to drink”. It’s easy to imagine sharing this with friends.
