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.

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.
