fermentation, elevage in neutral French oak barrels, unfined and unfiltered.

Moderately light reddish-purple
hue in the glass. Red fruits are featured on the nose and palate. Lovely soft texture and bright acidity on the

2009 Baxter Run Dog Vineyard Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.7% alc., $45. This 1-acre vineyard is
located at the southwestern end of the Anderson Valley and is planted to Pommard clone.
·
Moderately light
reddish-purple hue in the glass. Pleasing aromas of red pie cherries with hints of balsam, nuts and eucalyptus.
A juicy wine with tasty dark red cherry and berry flavors complimented by a savory herbal note and subtle
spice. The tannins are well-mannered and the wine offers welcoming finesse. Even better the following day
from a previously opened and re-corked bottle although showing a little heat on the nose. Very good.
