this is the smoothest, most polished of standish's quartet of new pinots. it's a best-of-barrels selection, and really impressive in cherry, currant, licorice, cola and provençal herbs. with near-perfect balance, it exemplifies anderson valley and also is a standout in the great 2005 vintage. it was crafted, under standish's “guest winemaker” program, by zach rasmussen, of goldeneye.
