Community Tasting Note

  November 7, 2010 - We opened to drink before dinner (roasted chicken with acorn squash and root veggies) and we were not as wowed this time. With the meal (about 1 1/2 hours later) we thought 86-87. The notes said, "In 2008, severe frost led to loss of 70% of the estate fruit, so Handley Cellars made only one Pinot Noir. Five vineyards with multiple clonal selections supplied the fruit in Potter Valley (47%), Anderson Valley (35%) and the Handley estate (18%) Due to a long, cold frost season, crop levels were low everywhere."
