O Pioneers, Which Way Is The On-Ramp

Imagine: nothing but nature as far as the eye can see.

A Twenties-style Craftsman house. A handsome cluster of sideways-tilting outbuildings. Sheep land so plentiful that the very winery is named for them. Breggo means sheep in Boontling, you see, and the Breggo Cellars Farm is just north of Boonville, which itself is a two hour drive from the Golden Gate bridge. Two hours and one stop sign.

The skies are clear blue. The scenery is wild and rugged. But if you had to live there? You’d probably be So. Freaking. Bored. Which is why you can be thankful that we’ll ship you this three pack of Breggo 2008 Anderson Valley Pinot Noir. Think about it, two hours out of town? Are they crazy? What if you want to order a pizza or go bowling? It’s good wine-making land but you’re not going to be walking to the local IMAX, if you understand what we’re saying here.

But thanks to the magic of shipping, you don’t have to do a thing but sit. After your three bottles of Pinot arrive, you’ll have easy access to the great aromas and flavors that are waiting inside. Wild blackberries, deep plums, and rich black cherry make the nose, while scattered hints of sandalwood, cola and pipe tobacco add to the complexity. You’ll enjoy a mouth of bright cherry pie and black currents, with rich tannin and acidity waiting smoothly for the end. It’s exotic and delicious wine. Who would have expected this from a place that brags about handsome tilted outbuildings?

Seriously, folks, you don’t want to move out there. Just let the Breggo Cellars people do all the hard work for you. Place your order for these three bottles of Anderson Valley Pinot Noir and then go the mall or something, enjoy yourself. Sheep are cool and all, but you know what? We developed civilization for a reason.

The vintage’s low yields are reflected in the glass by a great intensity of aroma and flavor. Wild blackberry, Santa Rosa plums, and rich black cherry are the dominant aromas. While hints of sandalwood, cola, and pipe tobacco give it depth and complexity. In the mouth, intense flavors of cherry pie and black currents make the mouth water. Rich tannins and bright acidity give the wine great texture without weight. This is an exotic wine that floats across the palate and is ready to be enjoyed now.

Vendor Details

Breggo Cellars

Location:
Boonville, CA
Breggo means "sheep" in Boontling, in honor of our place, a 203-acre farm just north of Boonville.  Our Craftsman house from the 1920s and random cluster of sideways-tilting outbuildings once served as headquarters to one of the oldest sheep ranches in Anderson Valley.  For 150 years, sheep dominated the agricultural landscape of Anderson Valley.  Sheep, like the domesticated vinifera grapevine, occupy and even thrive on the geographic periphery - places too steep, with soils too thin and climates too cold for other types of agriculture. Sheep and vines flourish where the domesticated meets the wilderness. The margins. This is our place.
 
Our farm sits alongside highway 128, in the heart of Anderson Valley. One stop sign and a two-hour drive separates us from the Golden Gate Bridge. Take 101 North for 90 miles, exit at the end of Cloverdale where it says "Boonville," stop at the end of the off-ramp and prepare for the serpentine drive. We call our stretch of highway 128 the "Rugged Wine Country." The color of the sky changes as you pass over Yorkville Highlands and drop into Anderson Valley. Isolated, bucolic, stunningly blue skies. Worth the drive.
