Wine is life for  Darrin Low of Dom. Anderson. Hear his philosophy.

In 2011, the Rouzaud family acquired the Dach family property - a beautiful, small ranch in the heart of the Anderson Valley. Over time, pinot noir and chardonnay grapes were planted and the Domaine Anderson winery, designed specifically for small lot production of site-specific pinot noir and chardonnay wines, was built. Vineyard management practices are focused on achieving the highest quality grapes, using sustainable techniques that benefit the health and natural harmony of the vineyard as a whole. The vineyards for Domaine Anderson wines span the Anderson Valley, from the warmer, up-valley town of Boonville to the cooler regions closer to the Mendocino coast. They are planted on gently sloped knolls, and on steep hillsides. Soils range from rocky, river gravels to the finest clay loams. Wines are produced from 100% estate-grown grapes from our Anderson Valley vineyards, allowing complete control over stewardship of the land. The wines are balanced, and elegant. Both the pinot noir and chardonnay wines are marked by an innate purity and curious depth.

Domaine Anderson - Darrin Low

Most trips to northern California wine country end just a short drive from San Francisco in Sonoma or Napa.  But, if you're a lover of pinot noir or chardonnay and don't mind a bit more driving through the redwoods, head up to Anderson Valley.  This is one of California's coolest growing regions, which makes it perfect for the Burgundian varieties. Homey and bucolic, Anderson Valley is the road less traveled, and that's a shame because there are some brilliant wines coming from this region. Back in 2012, Roederer Estate, which had been producing outstanding sparkling wines from Anderson Valley fruit since 1981, started a still wine project with the release of Domaine Anderson wines. I met with Darrin Low, who grew up in Healdsburg, the talented wine maker at Domaine Anderson, to discuss what makes Anderson Valley unique and of course, to taste some delicious wines.
