2004 Anderson Valley Wightman House Pinot Noir


I was searching for my next Pinot find from the Anderson Valley and came across this little gem. Raye's Hill winery and vineyard produces 4 different Pinot Noirs that sounded wonderful. I called and spoke to Dan Sokolow who is the winemaker and owner of the vines. After hearing and feeling Dan's passion for his wines...I purchased 3 bottles of each of his Pinots to taste. I started with the Wightman House Pinot and discovered how delicate a pinot can be. Soft vanilla tones with a mild oakiness came across the palate with a refreshing lingering aftertaste of mixed berries. A very nice effort.
I rate this wine 6.5 bigbecks out of 10
