  It was fine. Enjoyable and not much going on.

  Dryer and more earthy that the 2012 version, and also less interesting. Where the ‘12 had a more intense fruit profile and lively acidity, the ‘13 just kind of lies there. This is a lazy wine. Drinkable but no bargain.

  Really nice '13 showing by Black Kite, whose '12s were hit and miss. Rich fruit on the nose, but not overly syrupy on the palate. Seems more judicious with oak than many of their releases, though there's still some pronounced tannin in late '17 that might melt away over the next 4-5 years. On the heftier side, but quite an enjoyable Anderson Valley Pinot Noir.

  Nice balanced crowd-pleasing pinot.. Good ripe fruit, spice, yet balanced.

  What casport said, exactly. Little candied for my taste but still good stuff.
