2007 Expression 39 Anahala Vineyard Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., $48.
·
This is a delightful Pinot Noir. Scents of well-spiced cherries
and berries are echoed in the fruit flavors which are delicately kissed by oak.
The fruit is full of vim and vigor and well-framed by substantial ripe tannins.
Still young and somewhat undeveloped, this beauty will benefit from another
6 to 12 months in the cellar.
