2015 Yamakiri Filigreen Farm Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., $33. Produced and
Balo Vineyards as a custom crush client by Yamakiri Wines, Philo. Name means, “Mountain Fog.”
·
Moderate ruby red color in the
glass. Lovely aromas of red grape, cherry, rose in bloom, and earthy vegetation. Light to mid
weight flavors of cherry, cranberry and spice framed by spirited acidity and notable fine-grain
tannins. When tasted the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle, the wine
was even more appealing with better acid and tannin integration.
Score: 89.
