An "ordinary", well-made Anderson valley pinot from a good year, right in its drinking window... This took about a half-hour open to start expressing itself on the nose, then plateaued and held up well. In a good spot - not sure it will get much better but it's holding just fine. a bit too much cherry fruit (which I often find in Anderson Valley), touch of sweetness.
Good but not great - I might be falling out of love with Anderson Valley pinot.

A luscious wine. Pomegranate, cherry and raspberry with good acidity and nicely oaked to boot. Great concentration. Served to family at a gathering, accompanied by much ooohing and ahhhing. Excellent.

Over two days, with Chinese food, sweet bacon cashews, and confetti cake. Super tasty. Mellowing nicely, glad we caught it when we did!
