A very good case here for cellaring a wine. In its youth, this was rambunctious and a tad hot, but now this is in its sweet spot. It first comes off as a little too plush and soft but some air (maybe an hour) allows it to open up and the complexities join the pleasures. Good stuff. Drink now.

This Angel Camp Pinot was exceptional! We had paired with with chicken, pancetta, tomato, lettuce, and aioli sandwiches. All of the pinots that DG makes from Anderson Valley always turn out to be way to the positive side. This bottle I'm sure can age 10 years or more, but sometimes you just have to say, what the heck?

Tasting room- clear, ruby color, medium intensity. Developing aromas of sagebrush, rhubarb, darker berry and earth notes. Tangy acid and a fine silky texture showing notes of cola, mineral, earth and violets, along with darker fruit. Nicely layered, finely balanced. Medium finish. Hold- very tight, but I really like what this is showing already.

Purchased as library selection from winery, raisiny and a little flabby, seems a little cooked. Not what it seemed when tasted at the tasting room.

Unusually robust and rustic for Dutton-Goldfield. Not flawed and certainly drinkable, but nothing more.

Continued through our third and (sadly) last bottle of this Angel Camp vintage. Absolutely excellent, as were the previous ones.

Delicious, very typically AV. Can definitely go another couple of years.

Chicago Pinot Days (Navy Pier - Chicago IL): Tasting, brief note. Lots of red cherry start-to-finish, fatter than the Azaya with less textural nuance. Still well balanced.
