My first Pinot winemaking as a member of Akan Bakers cellar rats. Now 8 yrs old its awesome. Still lively red fruit on the nose, nice ruby color and a little spice and good acidity. It's a tribute to the terroir of Wetzel vineyard and this was the first harvest there!

It was time. It drank well. Lively cherry and cranberry with a touch of earthy complexity. Delectable: Although it was Alan (not Akan) Baker's project, the label says "CR" for Cellar Rat and that was the name of the wine.
