Community Tasting Note

Sunday, February 17, 2013 - Falltacular 2013 (FMIII in the OC): I was standing against a wall tasting this wine and Eric walked by and began chatting. He didn't know what I was drinking so I innocently (or not so) said "what to you think of this wine's aromas?" and handed him my glass. He stuck his nose in there, thought for 10 seconds, and said "this is Abigail". Bingo! I told him I thought that was pretty impressive and said "no not really, I live with that wine everyday of its life". Good point, never really thought about that fact he's surrounded by his wines everyday. He's a very knowledgeable winemaker and interesting to converse with.

This is my favorite of his wines, really well made with all the facets of California Pinot I like.

I finally recently received the Ladd pinots and you were right the Abigail was really good. The other two Ladd's were very nice but the Abigail is special.
I have to get on the Ladd mailing list. Probably the best QPR for pinots I've found this year.
