A lineup of 10 August West and Roar Pinots, 2007-2011, all made by wine maker Ed Kurtzman, who attended our tasting. This one was meaty with a long finish.

Bright acidity, medium to full bodied, tart cherry, cranberry, strawberry/rhubarb pie; steely minerality and porcini mushroom on a voluminous finish! Outstanding!!!

Always a favorite. A lot of power for a Pinot, plenty of finesse as well. Mushroom, smoke, earth and delicious!

Took a couple hours. Started slow and only came around after 60-90min. Went from having no depth to being beautiful long finish. Bright fruit but more complex than Sonoma coast. Better than Hartford.
