Morning Dew Ranch Pinot Noir
ByMorning Dew Ranch is a pretty special vineyard planted up in the Anderson Valley by legendary Pinot meister, Burt Williams, the former founding winemaker/owner of Williams & Selyem. After he & Ed Selyem sold their label (I believe 1997 was his last complete vintage) Burt planted Morning Dew ranch. I had heard they had a 10 year NO compete clause in the sale, so we waited patiently for him to release a small batch of wines I was sure would turn up sooner or later. Cheryle & I then took a trip up to Anderson Valley a couple of years back to see Burt & his vineyard. He told us he produced roughly 200 cases of a of an 2008 & a 2009!
