2013 Witching Stick Wiley Vineyard Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., $49.
·
Moderately light reddish purple color in the glass.
Haunting aromas of cherry, clove and rose petal lead to a core of cherry
and pomegranate fruits. Soft, sleek and balanced on the palate with a
bright acid backbone and integrated tannins, finishing lithe and
persistent. Very seductive juice.
Score: 93.

2012 Witching Stick Dowser’s Cuvée Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.0% alc., 426 cases, $55. A blend of 4
vineyards and several clones from both Anderson Valley and Mendocino Ridge (Akin, Wiley, Cerise and Gianoli
vineyards). 77% of fruit from the cooler “deep end” of the valley. Aged 19 months in 27% new French oak.
·
Medium reddish purple color in the glass. Bright nose with hi-tone scents of dark cherry, dark raspberry,
cardamom spice, and oak vanillin. Plenty of ripe cherry and pomegranate fruits and a hint of citrus fill the
mouth with layers of pleasure. The wine is still young with some unintegrated tannins, but the potential is
evident.
Score: 90.
