As with other Anderson Valley wines, gave it 45 minutes in the decanter to help unleash the red fruit. Could definitely pick up the sour cherry - especially with the long lasting finish - it didn’t want to end! Is certainly a favorite from WS and will purchase my full allocation of this one when it’s available. A great Anderson Valley wine!

I don’t think I’ve ever had a Pinot Noir with such a long lasting flavor and finish! It is a leaner style, light to medium bodied, fruit was picked earlier than I usually prefer but still clocks in at 13.8 alcohol. Wonderful fresh nose of sour strawberries and cherries. The mouth feel isn’t super layered but has a wonderful and ever present tart cherry flavor with a loooong lasting finish. Well integrated and balanced oak. I won’t be buying any more anytime soon due to price but it is a wonderful wine and if you have the disposable cash certainly buy a bottle for the experience.
