Country: US / Hein Vineyard – Hayley Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Fulcrum / Anderson Valley
Shows the challenges of the 2008 vintage, which was alternately cool, hot and rainy in the North Coast. The wine is very dry and quite acidic. While it shows an elegant structure, it’s a bit lacking in richness, and probably is not ageworthy.
