Waits-Mast
Deer Meadows Vineyard Pinot Noir
Anderson Valley, North Coast, California, USA
2013. A crescendo of restrained power and alluring elegance. This bottle requires self-control. Haste makes waste. Speed kills. Take your time. Not saying it's gonna be easy, but it's the only way to go.

I feel like this wine is now in its peak window. But I could be wrong.

Jan 13th, 2015Somewhat muted nose full of baking spices. Beautiful flavors of cranberry, ginger, milling spices, and forest floor that just goes on and on.

Wow. Just wow. This Pinot has all the right elements: juicy fruit, high acid, a pinch of tannin and layers of complexity. Thanks @waitsmast

Apr 19th, 2017Slightly better with a bit more age.

Dec 5th, 2016Decanted for 50 minutes.
Upon placing my order in late July, I promised @Brian Mast a review in early fall.
Not sure how much more you need to know, other than this small lot, husband wife owned label was recently served at The White House.
Bing cherry, tart raspberry and coriander with an ever so subtle touch of orange zest.
What a finish..... Perfect balance of acidity backed by black tea leaves.
Great right now but lucky me, I have a handful of bottles for my cellar.
