Woodenhead and the Wiley vineyard in Anderson Valley are such a good compliment to each other. I don't see much about the producer and I don't know why. This wine is light, bright, unfined, and unfiltered. It has pure light red fruit, a little spice and bread box, soil, and a light dose of slightly resiny box. Damn delicious now but will definitely improve.

Spicy fruit forward nose. Reminded me of a good Rioja at first. Quite jammy but in a very elegant and balanced style. Deep cherry flavours, lovely finish. Wish I had more.

Similar to the last tasting. Big Pinot with more syrah like qualities. It actually dominated a 13 year old st emillion in day 2 with just corking oustside the cellar so you know this one is big. I suggest hiding this for another couple of years or so to let it calm down and maybe open it with a couple of hours of decanting in the meantime.

Savory; medium palate-weight. Still in great shape.

Back to School in the Cellar (The Restaurant at Kellogg Ranch): Big bright jammy fruit on the nose. Juicy palate showing big dark berry fruits with notes of fruit skins and a light grip. More forward than expected given the maker.
