The 2021 Thomas T. Thomas Vineyards Anderson Valley Reserve Pinot Noir is not a California fruit blockbuster but an ethereal Pinot expression. Pinot Noir thrives in the Anderson Valley, given its proximity to the Pacific and the chilly oceanic winds that swish through the region. The Reserve Pinot Noir offers a bright and plush palate, with juicy forest berries enveloping the core before yielding to hints of baking spice and dried black tea. It is pure and addicting. Fine-grained tannins and brisk acidity give the wine structure for drinking years later.
