Lot 125
2019 Anderson Valley Pinot Noir

Very pale ruby in the glass. The nose shows in layers, not yet having coalesced fully but its still pretty as hell with strawberry and cola and a little woody, resinous halo suggesting a modicum of stem inclusion here for structure. Soon watermelon comes to the fore with black cherry and savory dark earth filling out the darker fruit registers and completing the bouquet. Can't wait to see how this knits together in another month or so. The palate is linear and precise with pretty red fruits well supported by crisp, exquisite minerality in a long, lip-smacking finish with more complexity to come!
