San Andreas Fault Pinot Noir

Nice dark and mid fruits with some dry herbs and eucalyptus. Solid producer of Ca Pinot Noir.

Still closed, not a lot of complexity.

We had a fort ross-seaview night. All pinots with duck breast for dinner. Slightly chilled all of them to show a little better

An excellent example of the "positive powers of reduction". An outlier on the Hirsch table, this wine needs a good ten minutes of attention as the wine cuts loose a huge array of earthen and spice-derived aromas and flavors. Super interesting and delicious. A wine to "geek-out" on fo-sho.

Bright acid. Opening up after 1 hour. Early. Wait for a few more years but tasting great with Nadine at Charlie Palmer Steak in DC

Oh man! So delicious. My first vintage here. Proud to have worked on this one. I knew it would taste like this. Pomegranate and cherry trees, pencil shavings, bazooka wrapper, tree bark, burnt rubber that blows off at 30 minutes, the most subtle oak/cedar touch. Pretty much a dead ringer for Grand Cru Burgundy. Amazing.

Happt tart tight bright berry and wet chalkboard wiped down with green herbs.

So pretty. Fresh red fruit and depth. Dig

A little too acidic for my palate but still good and paired well with the turtle bolognese

Beautiful aromatics and great acid. Perfect for food!!
