Lavishly oaked showing overt vanilla and baking spices. The fruit is overripe, showing cola, black cherry and cream. While the label suggests 13% abv, the wine is palate coating and slightly flabby. No real noticeable structure. Not my style, but im sure a crowd pleaser for those liking the prototypical, Russian River profile.

As beautiful a definition of Anderson Valley as it gets. Rich fruit, earth and herbal nuances all balanced nicely.

And in this harsh world draw thy breath in pain

Needed 30 minutes to blow off a little funk but been in a nice place ever since. I enjoy these Anderson Valley Pinots, they all seem to have a certain elegance. Nice pairing with the grilled chicken.

This is pleasant in the nose with a touch of cigar box and cherries to me. Clean ripe red fruit and spices dance in your mouth. Well balanced and delicious to drink.
