2010 Cerise Pinot Noir, Knez Winery, Anderson Valley
From one of the top sites in the Anderson Valley, this has all the acumen of a century-old winemaking venture. The 2010 Cerise is singing; captivating richness leads to some layered, spice-laced fruit, with lavender and a hallmark woodland character. The palate is so soft and silky, yet by no means lacking in confidence; or, in Antonio Galloni’s words, ‘There is no shortage of personality here’.
