2012. I'm seriously in love with this wine. It's got this great essence of lavender nose with beautiful and subtle berry tones. Ummmm...so nice.

My original "aha" wine. 11 vintages later and still as solid as ever...

Just delicious, the 2012 is perfect right now. An excellent Anderson Valley Pinot Noir.

2012 vintage. Cranberries, dried cherries, pomegranate, red apple skin, violets, red flowers, moss, autumn leaves, fairly firm tannins, though still with textbook elegance and finesse of the variety. Good example of variety and region.

Lots of fruit, blackberry, musty grapes, just slightly bitter, could use a bit more time presumably. I'd prefer a bit more acidity as well.
