Tight, very tight consider it’s 2016 vintage Took almost 2 hours to open up Which is a good sign, Lot of cooked fruit, balance, and juicy fruit palate

From a 220 Acre Anderson Valley Estate. Cooler part of the AV. Higher elevation and closer to the coast. Beautiful aromatics. Red cherry and rose water. A nice example of the style.

Excellent front a little flat on the finish. Could use a boost in acidity.

Not bad, a little on the sweeter side. Full bodied, jammy for a Pinot Noir. Good with a steak, or even duck or lamb.

This was my very favorite wine for over a decade. But I never have it because it's so expensive. This is the first time I've had it in probably 7 years. And I was underwhelmed. So sad. A bit shaper than I remember it, a little less complex. Oak but only way after you've swallowed. Overall, can't say it's a favorite anymore and thus can't justify the price. Bummer.
