Wine Details
Pouring a beautiful burgundy color in the glass, this wine is still a baby – once the nose cracks open, wow! Strawberries, rhubarb, and herbs abound, with secondary notes of mushrooms, cherries, and cola. On the palate, cherry and damp earth resonates over incredible structure, with balanced acidity moving into a dry finish and an awesome kiss of bacon fat. This wine has a fair amount of life to develop yet, so while you should give it a healthy decant now, you'll definitely want some by the case to lay down for a few years.

Accessed through a winding road through a fairytale-like redwood forest, the Anderson Valley AVA is a peculiar area that seems to have resisted just about any of the changes that you will have seen in Napa and Sonoma. It's also one of the best AVAs for Pinot Noir in the country when it comes to quality for price. Lot 703 comes to us from a family winery that has been making wines here across generations for 40 years, produced from estate vineyards that take full advantage of the loamy soils, warm days, and foggy nights of the Anderson Valley. Aged for eighteen months in French oak, this is a fantastic score from my personal favorite AVA for Pinot Noir in California. Sold for $35 under its original label.

Okay
It was okay, and the price is very reasonable. But we probably wouldn't select this Pinot again.

Great Value
Much more substantial than Oregon Pinot, not as complex or luxurious as Pinot from Carneros or Russian River valley, this wine was surprisingly good for the price. Great value!

Solid, Full Bodied Pinot
We'd give 3.5 if we could... Nose is floral and sharp with red cherry and raspberry piercing the nostriles. A hint of yeast lays in the undertone. The attack is lacking but the mid-palate is heavy for a pinot, but exactly what we look for from Anderson Valley. A nice acidity balances this fullness. The finish is short and sour. Good value for price.
