  Out of magnum. So delicate yet vibrant. It's not a complex wine, really offering pure cherry, cranberry, and orange oil flavors in a silky yet vibrantly acid driven package. Drinks more like Schiava than Pinot Noir. Decidedly popular at a party, due to it's effortless drinkability. While this showed terrifically out of magnum I would say that it's time to drink these up. There was a slight caramel oxidative note here which didn't yet detract, but also didn't really add to the package. Joyful little wine

  Bright, quite crystalline currant color.
  
  Warm aromatic nose of cherry, cinnamon, and paraffin.
  
  Tart red and black fruits on the palate. Sour cherries, salinity and citrus.
  
  Just a perhaps more round and complete on the palate than the En Haut of the same year.

  Final bottle, last tasted 2 yrs ago.
  This bottle was opened and consumed over 3-4 days.
  Nicely made, clocking in at 12.8% abv, this Anderson Valley PN is tart, tight, and tasty...sour cherry, stems, coffee grounds, unripened plum, and mint.
  Nice and gritty tannins to support the perfectly moderated acidity. Long finish, puckers a bit. Nice, drink now through 2022+.

  Very good. Seemed a bit more "interesting" than the 2011 "En Haut". More structure. More intense flavors. Maybe not quite as perfect as a food pairing wine, but also maybe more enjoyable on its own.
