The 2016 Laceroni is bursting with Meyer lemon, tropical citrus, orange blossom, and hints of roasted hazelnuts. The palate has a foreground of tangerine zest and and tropical fruit, with hints of brioche in the background. There is stunning depth and a clean, bright minerality. Enjoy this beauty over the next five years.

Blue Farm Winery

Blue Farm began in 2001 when viticulturist Anne Moller – Racke planted seven acres of pinot noir behind her historic Victorian farmhouse in Sonoma. Anne designed the vineyard to produce one complete wine, blended from four clones.

In 2007, Anne helped her friend Timothy Mott with the planting and farming of his small vineyard of pinot noir, 1861, perched on a rocky hillside overlooking the town of Sonoma. A co-founder of Electronic Arts and executive of numerous start-ups, Tim and Anne then partnered in the expansion of Blue Farm. Critically acclaimed winemaker Kenneth Juhasz has helped make Blue Farm’s small lot, single vineyard wines since 2003.
