"From a high-altitude site in Anderson Valley, the 2011 Pinot Noir Cerise Vineyard is one of the wilder wines in this range. A deep, almost inky red, the Cerise shows the more animal side of Pinot in its game, tar, smoke, black pepper, licorice and black cherries. This is also one of the most powerful wines of the 2011s, but at the same time I find less elegance than in some of the other offerings. Firm, powerful tannins support a dark, brooding finish laced with Syrah-like overtones."
