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

Originally tasted at Pinot Days Los Angeles. Just as good at home with cedar plank salmon. Lovely bottle!

Much lighter color and less forest floor taste than many of their Pinots. Also way more pleasant tart fruit and lightness than other Anderson Pinots.

Decanted 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.
