Great Pinot very fruit forward — a month ago
Red fruited aromatics dominate - very alluring. A toffee note amongst the red and black cherry aromas. Palate showing cherry, strawberry and tick of raspberry. Great clarity to the fruit driven palate. Oak in the background. A very professional and quality new world Pinot Noir. — 11 days ago
Very creamy and rich. A lot of toast. Felt like it was moving toward secondary flavors. It was good. — a day ago
Middle of the road body. Nose is tart raspberry and roasted plum. Palette is macerated strawberry with a hint of basil. Crowd pleaser. Could cocktail or pair with food very easily. — a month ago

I really enjoy these Anderson Valley PN's with some time away, teetering on dried cherry, over-ripe cherry on the nose and faint stem notes. Palate shines with dried strawberry, dried cherry, faint forest floor and shaved bittersweet chocolate. I believe this will be in prime form in 2028-30+.
Enjoyed with a Cherry wood smoked pork tenderloin, Kosher salt/pepper rub. Pork was topped with a mushroom/Madeira reduction, great pairing of wood smoke, fortified wine & mushrooms.
Smoked dinners are interesting here, as normally I'm getting licked/bitten by a cat though the entire meal; he's our foodie guy, so par for the course. — 20 days ago
