title: Chronicle 2009 Cerise Vineyard Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
description: One sip is all it takes to know this is a terrific Pinot Noir. It's dry, silky and complex, and not only that, it will develop bottle nuance over the next six years. Rich and flamboyant in cherry pie filling, persimmon and mushu-plum sauce flavors, yet layered with earthy, foresty notes of mushrooms, soy sauce and balsam. You can drink it now, but give it an hour or two of decanting.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Cerise Vineyard
