Old-growth redwoods surround the coolest valley edge with forest and coastal undercurrents that define Savoy. One of the most recognizable names in this appellation. Savoy is a very special vineyard located northwest of the town of Philo. The vineyard lies at the base of the hills and comprises the last knolls as well as the gently sloping terraces below them which lead eventually to the Navarro River which flows through part of the Anderson Valley. Rooted in weathered sandstone and sloping terraces near the cooler edge of Anderson Valley, significant diurnal temperature swings bring the nerve and tension we strive for in our wines.

Coastal coniferous undercurrents emerge from dense black-edged fruits and pop with minerality, coriander, blood orange, and fresh rose.
