I’m not normally a California Pinot fan but Anderson Valley is an AVA I can make an exception for. This Navarro offshoot is a prime example of what Cali pinots can do when done well: low funk and high amounts of fruit. Baked blackberry pie and cloves/other baking spices. Medium weight but a long lingering finish.
“Good shit, here.”

2016 opened Feb 2019. Unripe cherries and mint on the nose. Strawberries on the front, with an inoffensive tannic structure — smooth but slightly puckery — and a somewhat mineral finish. Better than your average Burgandy, but a middle of the road Pinot for California.

Interesting Sauvignon Blanc from small Anderson valley producer that also makes some tremendous cheese. More full-bodied than most and sweeter on the tongue than I typically like. Nice with spicy food.
