Anaba Wines -- Picpoul Blanc '23, Pinot Noir '21

Two from the winery's wide roster.

Anaba Wines was founded in 2005 by John Sweazey, who named the winery for the anabatic or upslope winds that characterize the western Carneros region. Though he worked in commercial real estate in San Francisco, Sweazey constantly traveled to Europe, where his sojourns among great vineyards and wineries inspired his desire to own his own winery and produce his own wines. These center on a range of fairly costly single-vineyard chardonnays and pinot noirs but include entry-level wines as well.
