Slow O'd for 90 minutes, paired with baked Sockeye Salmon. last of four, and I am sorry to see them go: these, to my palate (and others) have been mostly stellar bottles of Anderson Valley Pinot Noir, and this was no exception. Could last a couple-three more years, but why wait?

Shared anniversary dinner; our friends brought a celebratory champagne and a Pinot Noir from, maybe, the Naked Wines stable: medium body, a little thin, tart-to-sour kind of Pinot; you'll know it. Then we had this. Complex, rolling flavors of spice, earthy and fruit: juts on the shy side of elegantly lush. After the firsts pours, I poured my own seconds and our guest individually poured their own: a Pinot so compelling that "Get me some more now" is the lizard-brain response. Good stuff; recommended. Some coupla-three years to go before the cliff, but, man. I'll be looking for the next excuse to drink my fifth of five.

Impressive overall for its price. Black and red cherry with a charming touch of whole cluster spice. Everything integrated, everything harmonious. Good weight, better length. Better tonight vs my first bottle, opened in 2015.

Fine. Not very memorable. Sharp/tart finish out of the gate that diminished a bit with air. Found the 90-91 score and review from the Prince of Pinot way more on point than AG’s 95.

Spicy and lively, and in a perfect drinking window.
