"🐝 Bee Hunter makes so many varieties of wine 🍷 and there is something for everyone. Their love ❤️  for the craft of wine is obvious in every sip. This winemaking power couple has a knack for finding the best fruit 🍇 in Mendocino County and making the purest expressions from it. They only work with growers that practice organic, biodynamic, and sustainable farming 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾  practices.  They are a small-batch operation, with no more than 200 to 500 cases🛢 per wine produced.   Winemaking is minimal intervention to make sure a 'sense of place' is found in every bottle. "

"The perfect balance of fruit notes (strawberry, apple, peach, honeysuckle, and mango) and bright acidity in the Beehunter Pinot Noir Rose pairs great with Panang Curry (which I had last night) or even with a sausage right off the grill. As I write this review, I’m sitting in the pool enjoying what is left of the bottle from last night (don’t worry, if I wasn’t the only one having it, it definitely would’ve been gone already!) With that said, I highly recommend this Rose for a warm summer day poolside.  I purchased this wine as part of their “Pick a Pack of Pinot” bundle (includes free shipping!) and really look forward to trying some of their other wines, additional updates to follow.

Cheers, Alex"

"There are many things about Bee Hunter wine that makes it so lovable. There is the drive to the tasting room in Boonville, California, the amazing hospitality offered by owners Ali and Andy and of course the wine. At first I thought Bee Hunter is a reference to the delicious nectar they make  -  a play on words with honey so to speak. Of course, I was wrong. Ask about that story when you visit, because Bee Hunter Wine is a must visit. Until you can visit there are the wines. If you are looking for a wine that is as much of an expression of the terroir where the grapes do all the talking, Bee Hunter is your place. Andy, the winemaker, is a minimalist and he intervenes as little as possible making the wine. Ali told me he lets the wine do all the talking and just feels it as he goes. Mystical if you ask me.  If you are looking for a Rosé that somehow ages so well it doesn't. Bee Hunter. If you are looking for a Riesling that has the "petrol/gasoline" smell folks talk of (in every good way possible). Bee Hunter. If you are looking for a wide variety of Pinot Noirs. Yup. Bee Hunter. Until you can visit, I'd dabble in their wines if I were you."
