Baxter Winery

Fabulous wine Fabulous tasting room. A must stop in the Anderson Valley. The wine making style and vintage are impeccable.

Visited on ¹⁰⁄₁₈ after a full day in Anderson Valley so our pallets were shot. Thanks to Claire for putting up with us.
Very tasty pinots. 2012 Oppenlander and the Langley Pinto Noir were my favorites here. Price pretty standard for good pinot from this area.

I had found what I was sure was my favorite pinot noir until we tried Baxter. Baxter is now the favorite and what everything else is compared against.
Great wine, great people. Highly recommend joining the wine club.

Went to Anderson Valley recently for the first time and this was my first stop with some friends. We were met by Phil and his wife Claire who run this wonderful little winery on top of a lush, green, tree filled hill overlooking part of the valley. They were super welcoming, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable with wine.
We did a private tasting with them and wow, their wines are just phenomenal. There was a barrel that was not quite done but Phil gave us all a small tasting and it may just be the best wine I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. Too bad it wasn’t ready yet because I would have wanted to purchase the entire barrel! I think I may have to switch it up from my Cab and Malbec staples and stick to Pinot Noir’s after visiting Baxter Winery!
I will definitely be back to visit them next time I come up to Anderson Valley and you should too! Tastings are by appointment only but definitely give them a call and come for a visit! Your palette will thank you!
