Community Tasting Note

Friday, January 10, 2020 - I think this needs another couple of years. There’s a back-end bitterness to the tannins in Anderson Valley Pinots at this age and this one is no exception. I always notice it when the wine is between 6-9 years old or so and it doesn’t matter much who made it. It almost reminds me of chickory. Fortunately that back-end bitterness resolves at about the 10 year mark when the red fruit shines through with the best of the savory characteristics. You just have to hope the wine still has substance to get there. This one certainly should although the body and length is maybe not among Rhys’ best, the freshness should carry it. Should improve though and there’s more pleasure to come.
