March 18, 2024 - The top shelf Rhys wines are great, and I had never tasted anything from the Alesia lineup. For the price, this is outstanding. This captures the great dark fruit of Anderson with some nice floral characteristics.

April 29, 2023 - Juicy black fruit and sour cherry on the nose. Dry. Nice acidety. Medium concentration fruit. Nice round mouthfeel. Red fruit, apple and blackberry on the palate. Very nice! Definetly BftB😃🍷🍷

March 2, 2023 - Dark berry, wild strawberry, licorice, a little smoky and spicy. Silky texture, fine balance.

September 15, 2022 - Pop and pour. Tasted over three days, keeping the wine refrigerated during the time.
Dark ruby color.
Nose offers dark red fruits and some fresh earth.
A bit heavy on the intro showing a darker fruit flavor profile than expected from Anderson Valley Pinot.
Has a bit of plum and stewed fruit as well.
Drinkable but not particularly enjoyable. -

March 31, 2022 - Very Cali…. Dark red berry fruit, hints of oak and cinnamon spice, medium-bodied, silky tannins, easy, easy, easy to enjoy. This bottle was a notch better than the prior one—seemed clearer somehow.
