the wine is a beauty. dry, silky and pure in red cherry, raspberry, red currant and cola flavors, it was aged 16 months in 100% new french oak barrels, which give an appropriate measure of smoky caramel. with a sturdy acid-tannin structure, this supple pinot classically exhibits the best of anderson valley terroir. drink this in its flashy youth, over the next five years.
