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.

Better than the '12 at this point for me. Round, fresh, and wonderful texture with cherry, a bit of raspberry, sassafras character with an appealing minerality

2009. I'm such a sucker for cerise, it has that sultry elegance down pat, the wine version of tousled hair.

Beautiful bright fruit, strawberries and cream, balanced, 13.4% alcohol so not “hot.” Really enjoyed it
