  Tonight downgrade
  Same flavor profile as before but it seems too simplistic for a 92
  Down to an 89

  I always look forward to Jason Drew’s Anderson Valley blend. It reminds me of the impact of terroir on this varietal that can vary so much based upon where it is grown. This always gives me an appreciation for the brawny, earth-driven versus solely fruit-focused Pinots. This is a great food wine as it can stand up and compliment a variety of offerings. Certainly a valued entry across the spectrum of Pinot and great QPR.

  Medium to light ruby. Beautifully savory, with suggestions of crunchy fresh cranberry, balsamic mountain strawberry, and some hints of trademark pine needles. Excellent acid backbone. Happily, quite the opposite of overblown California Pinot Noir made in the style of thick jammy stuff. This is a wine built for accompanying food, and not just sipping on its own. Very enjoyable over three nights, and a good introduction to the line. Those who like this style will find similar attributes, considerably stepped up in terms of depth and complexity, in the lovely recent estate bottlings.

  Nose and palate the same
  Light precise strawberry, clean, touch earth.
  Bracing acidity and nice minerality ..
  Not the typical over extracted cali Pinot
  More Oregon than burgundy..
  Very delicious
