A lineup of 10 August West and Roar Pinots, 2007-2011, all made by wine maker Ed Kurtzman, who attended our tasting. This one was a bit faded so ranked lower than its peers.

Spicy and intense. Light body, though. One of the better examples from this region. I'm wondering what this wine would be like in another decade. Good shit even though it's not my thing
