A Pax Mahle wine. Opened wayyyyyy too early. Rating based on current drinking, because right now this is still tight and tart and acidic. Absolutely gorgeous fruit underneath but even now on night 3 it's just starting to relent. This is a beast that needs a decade to tame.

Great expression of Anderson valley--elegant and earthy all wrapped up in red plummy fruit goodness. Excellent choice from one of the best in the business.

Dark cherry with accents of mint and dried tangerine peel, the fruit comes off as a little candied but it is offset by nice tartness. Not terribly complex or long, but surprisingly compelling despite that.
