DESCRIPTION

Winemaker Kevin Harvey -  "Always one of the lighter colored wines in the lineup, the 2018 Pinot Noir Bearwallow Vineyard comes from an estate vineyard in the Anderson Valley. Classic notes of dried cherries, cranberries, loamy earth, and savory herbs all give way to a bright, medium-bodied, elegant Pinot Noir that has a solid sense of minerality, present tannins, and a good finish. I never find the same level of class or elegance from this cuvee compared to the Santa Cruz Mountain releases, yet it's a character-filled, satisfying Pinot Noir to enjoy over the coming decade." Review from Wine Critic Jeb Dunnuck Score 93

"The 2018 Pinot Noir Bearwallow Vineyard is dark, fleshy and super-expressive. Dark cherry, spice, menthol and new leather all infuse the 2018 with striking depth as well as nuance. This is such a gorgeous and inviting Anderson Valley Pinot. Rose petal, spice, blood orange and bright red cherry fruit give this vibrant Pinot tons of appeal. This is such a beautiful wine."  Vinous  Score 94

"The 2018 Pinot Noir Bearwallow Vineyard is progressing nicely past its initial phase, with potpourri, cocoa powder, dried clove and strawberry leaf aromas. The palate is silky and elegant with slightly softened acidity and tannins that, while still very much present, show early signs of integration. Considering the immense structure and slow-moving nature of the Santa Cruz Mountains wines, this is relatively wide open should readers wish to dip a toe into this fantastic vintage from Rhys."
