Ripe strawberry, violet, cedar, black tea, medium body but with surprising tannin. Can't remember where, but a great buy for 29.99

Dusty road of juniper berries, those little red berries you're not supposed to eat. Awesome stuff.

Cola, bramble, touch of mint. Just the right amount of fleshiness.

Zippy acid, blacker fruit, spicy and savory. Nothing not to like.

Bit disappointed by this Knez Anderson Valley Pinot. First opening was just simple red fruit, cherry, candy like. Thought might improve over few days but just lost character. Liked the 2011 in tasting room & bought a vertical. Shame.

One of the more interesting CA Pinots I've had. Glad I let this one sit. Black cherry, black currant, cedar, juniper, forest floor & 5 spice. Loving the complex aroma & flavors from this developing wine!

Beautiful nose and very nice minerality. Went beautifully with our Peking Duck. Not a great sipping wine but great with food.
