High elevation and cold air drainage define the Nash Mill vineyard’s position in Anderson Valley’s eastern hills, and this Pinot from the husband-and-wife team at Waits-Mast captures cool-climate precision in every sip. Native fermentation and 15 months in 21% new French oak create a silky, unfiltered wine that balances savory spice with broad, deep palate presence. Only 600 cases produced, making this a true discovery for those seeking California Pinot with restraint and complexity.
