Enjoyable if not the most complex AV pinot. Alcohol a little high but blows off. Red fruit with abundant spice notes remnant of chai tea. Could use a few years to develop, but perfectly tasty.

Excellent example of Anderson Valley pinot, especially for the remarkable price. Needs time to open up, but when it does, classic rich Anderson Valley notes come to the forefront - blackberry, vanilla, bitter chocolate, and raspberry, with a touch of oak and spice. As time unfolds, an almost Russian River redness comes out, giving it some unexpected complexity.. very nice stuff.
