  Tastes burnt front and back, full bodied no tanins, fruit overwhelmed by burnt taste

  Gras AMF pays on the nose. Palate has strong dark chocolate notes with leather and earth tastes. I like heavy Pinot and this meets the requirements.

  The wine opens with aromas of fresh boysenberry and strawberry with delicate notes of rose petal. Flavors of sweet cherry and raspberry on the palate are supported by fine tannins and accented by dry herb complexity and a touch of intriguing minerality. Delicious now, this fine, coastal-climate pinot noir will develop further with another 3-5 years of bottle age.

  Throwdown – Failla (Fort Ross) vs. Cakebread (Annahala Ranch) vs. Arnot-Roberts (Legan)
  
  All good, yes very good. Failla won tonight, but A-R had better QPR. Cakebread was just fine, but not better than the other guys.
  
  Cakebread – Excellent wine. Dark Ruby. Fuller bodied than other PN’s. Smokey on the nose and initial taste. Deep fruit, plum berry flavors. Very good with Alaskan Salmon. Reasonable QPR.
