This is just fantastic. Not a big drinker of blends but this has everything and well balanced. Smooth, subtle sweetness with a suggestion of peat. Dangerously drinkable. — 9 years ago

Enjoying Anderson Valley pinot noir on the bank of Gore Creek in the Vail Valley CO. Dark red color, red fruit especially strawberry. — 4 years ago
The Anderson Valley climate is cool, Pinot Noir cool. This wine shows a medium dark tint and has a nose of blackberry, coffee and cola. The fruit is big enough on the palate, but it definitely has co-stars in the more savory players. Cola takes a bigger turn in the flavor profile, while a hint of black tea bubbles underneath. It has a great structure, firm but easy, and pleasant acidity. It finishes medium long. — 7 years ago
Nose has ripe blackberry, perfect black cherry, strawberry, tanned leather, moist chocolate cake, dry leaves and a touch of alcohol.
Palate has brown sugar dusted ripe strawberries, over-ripe black cherry, dehydrated strawberry, forest moss and moist soil; medium finish. Decanted 4H at the time of notes.
Paired with Taiwanese Five Spice Pork (Lu Rou Fan | 卤肉饭) over Jasmin rice with lightly fried eggs from our private egg factory in the backyard. Locally raised NY pork (Kinderhook Farm, Valatie, NY), Columbia Co. ❤️
Inaugural vintage. This was shortly after the time Duckhorn acquired Goldeneye and started a massive diversification program, isolating the vineyards into singular bottlings. For better or worse, we only lasted a few more years on vigorous collecting before withdrawal. Pricing was really getting detached from quality IMHO. — 2 years ago
A couple of years in the cellar has added some weight and brought out yummy marsanne & chard overtones.
And @Steve Anderson promise I did not add 7-Up. — 6 years ago
92 fantastic wine and winery. Owner Cliff Anderson shared his wonderful wines and story of starting out as one of Bill Gates' original marketing consultants and making an early investment on Microsoft's IPO that enabled he and his wife, co-owner, Allison Anderson to pursue their passion of owning their own winery. — 9 years ago
