The Charles Family had been growing grapes for several years before founding their Foursight label in 2006. The name refers to the four generations who've worked this Anderson Valley land, where they grow Pinot Noir, as well as Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, which are far less common for the area. Foursight's 2015 Charles Vineyard Pinot Noir exudes the red-fruit profile typical of this southern edge of the Anderson Valley - wild strawberry and cranberry meet Christmas spices and ginger.— 7 minutes ago

True to the vintage, light in style with almost oxidative aromatics. The palate, however, is still fresh and showing juicy fruits and earth. Interesting wine.

Eight year old Pinot. Held up very well.

No sediment, smooth, delicate, rhubarb, strawberries...

If you voted for Trump in 2016, I hope you have realized what a mistake that was.

A pleasant wine with the dark cherry and spice that exemplifies Anderson Valley Pinot Noir, but with a little bitterness on the finish and lacking a bit of complexity.
