Ankida Ridge Vineyards Pinot Noir 2022 Review
Virginia continues to not just impress but truly wow us. Almost 2,000 feet above sea level, tucked into the Blue Ridge mountains, is Ankida Ridge. Here, the Vrooman family works with the unlikely Pinot Noir variety. What may have seemed like a risk has become an enormous reward. This wine isn’t just delicious, it’s spectacular. It offers a floral nose that suffuses into hints of cherries, pepper, and soil. The palate is downright gorgeous with elegant fruit and well-integrated acidity.
