Tasting Notes
FineWine International
"Brilliant garnet color. Clearn aromatics of plum, cherry, blackberry and ripe strawberries meld with herbal qualities of licorice root, sweet tea, ginger and toasted almond. A hint of mushroom, earth, smoked meat and dried fig add to the complex bouquet. Rich aromatics carry through into the flavors with added cassis, leather, cardamon and a touch od dried herb. With well integrated woo, round tannins, and a long smooth finish, Floodgate is a beautiful expression of Anderson Valley Pinot Noir." winemaker notes. We couldn't have said it better ourselves.
Allen Meadows, Burghound 87
A high-toned and perfumed nose of red berry fruit aromas combines with light to barely medium weight flavors that are delicious and very pinot in style, culminating in a dusty and lightly structured finish. This will be at its best on the early side yet hold well.

Fresh, fragrant, appealing aromas of crushed and juicy wild strawberries accented by subtle black licorice, candied ginger and toasted almonds. Silky smooth and elegant with medium tannins and copious strawberry-cassis fruit, a touch of dried herbs and a subtle leather note that carries into the finish, this is a persistent and nuanced Pinot that is a joy to contemplate as well as to drink. Succeeding vintages from this source will be called "Reserve". Steve Pitcher 92 pts.
