Baxter

Baxter produces Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Mendocino County's North Coast vineyards. The Weir Vineyard Pinot Noir and Ferrington Vineyard Pinot Noir represent the winery's focus on the variety, which thrives in the region's cool coastal climate. The Oppenlander Vineyard Chardonnay rounds out the portfolio. Decanter and Wine Enthusiast have rated these wines, reflecting their technical merit. Mendocino County's maritime influence and diurnal temperature swings create conditions suited to both Pinot Noir's delicate structure and Chardonnay's mineral precision. Baxter's vineyard-designated releases suggest a site-driven approach to winemaking in this established California region.
