2009 Waits-Mast Hayley Vineyard Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.6% alc., 24 cases, $36. Released
September 2011. From a 34-acre valley floor site planted to Dijon clones 114, 115, 667 and 777 with small
amounts of Pommard and Martini. This wine is all clone 114. 100% whole berry. Inoculated yeast. Aged 17
months in 25% new Francois Frères French oak.
·
Aromas and flavors of black cap raspberries and black
cherries with a subtle underlying earthy, herbal bent. Full-flavored and plush on the palate, with a juicy finish.
A savory wine that aims to please. Still solid the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle.
Very good.

2009 Bruliam Hayley Vineyard Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.2% alc., pH 3.73, $52. Unusual wine in that
it is 100% clone 114.
·
This Pinot is the most feminine, the angel of the lineup. Very pretty perfume of cherries,
strawberries and spice echoed in the flavors on the palate. Soft, forward and charming, with a spark of acidity
to enliven the cherry driven finish. Very Good.

2007 Fulcrum Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.0% alc., 100 cases, $52. 50% Hein Family Vineyard and 50%
Hayley Vineyard. The clones are 115 and 777. Aged in 41% new French oak barrels for 14 months and in
bottle for 5 months. Unfined and unfiltered.
·
With urging the nose blossoms beautifully revealing hi-tone
aromas of ripe berry jam and wildflowers with a dusting of oak. The balance is admirable and the fine-grain
tannins provide a silky smooth texture that is very appealing. The flavor profile leans to raspberry and cherry
with a sidecar of oak. Plenty to like.
