Blue Jay Anderson Valley Pinot Noir

Andrew had this 12 years ago

Classic CA Pinot notes, but high alcohol (15.2%) and noticeable sweetness through it out of balance, interesting given the cool 2011 vintage

Warm earth and blueberries. Best PN ever

I’ve been saving this one for seven years and it did not disappoint.

Yummy, full bodied Pinot from Walt/Hall. Loaded with blue fruits and black tea. This wine is rich & fleshy with great balance, finesse and a lengthy finish. Alexander Valley delivers again. Def in my top 5 AVAs.

Earthy, herby notes paired well with medium sharp cheese and herbed meats, but very enjoyable on its own as well.

Was looking forward to tasting this wine, but disappointed in the result. Kinda thin, some brett, short and sour, would not go there again. Could be a vintage thing. So much better Pinot at this price.

Spicy! Oak! Dark!

Smooth, velvety, worth the price point.

Very enjoyable bright fresh blueberries and raspberries. Slightly sweeter than most though.
