Winemakers Notes: "Hints of blue fruit and Morello cherry combine with darker mulberry notes to highlight the classic Anderson Valley Pinot Noir profile. There is a refreshing fresh herb component underneath the fruit elements, reminiscent of a bouquet garni, owing to the wild penny royal growing through the valley. Mouthcoating and serious at the entry, the weight of this wine is compelling. The long growing season and well drained soils create a wine with both intensity and refinement. Flavors of black cherry and wood spices meld into notes of Earl Grey tea. Beautifully balanced tannin and acidity offer a wine that is both enjoyable now and can age for the mid-term."
