The 2010 Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley) is a gorgeous introduction to the Breggo wines. Juicy, dark cherries, flowers, sweet spices and a hint of oak emerge from a supple, juicy Pinot perfectly suited for drinking over the next few years. This is an especially forward Anderson Valley Pinot with plenty of appeal. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2017. Breggo is Cliff Lede’s Anderson Valley project. This year, at last, I preferred the Pinots over the whites. The 2010s still have a sheen of new French oak. I would prefer to give the wines another 6-12 months in bottle to see if the elements fuse together a little more completely. Still, that is a relatively small critique. There is a lot to like in this range from Breggo.Tel. (707) 895-9589

The 2009 Pinot Noir has loads of pomegranate, sweet and sour cherries, and spice box. It is pleasantly similar to a light to medium-bodied generic Cote de Beaune Drink it over the next 2-3 years. This winery was a discovery several years ago, and since then has been purchased by Napa’s Cliff Lede. In fact, much of the winemaking has been moved to the impressive facility of Cliff Lede Vineyards on the Yountville Crossroads. The founding winemaker, Ryan Hodgins, was hired full-time, so I don’t think there’s any real change in style. In fact, given Cliff Lede’s resources and commitment to world-class quality, I would suspect quality will likely increase. The following wines are singular in that I don’t think anyone is doing what Breggo has managed to achieve with varietals such as Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, and Riesling in Northern California.Tel.
