Phillips Hill 2008 Beeson Tree Anderson Valley Pinot Noir

"From a winery that's piling up an impressive record with Mendocino
Pinot Noir comes this crisp, silky wine.  It's light in color and deceptively
light in body, in the way of some great Burgandies that age effortlessly,
even when you think they won't.  Dry and pure, it has a sweet complex
wild cherry, rasberry,cola and smoky oak flavors.  Fine now and could
really surprise in six years or more."- SH

Phillips Hill 2008 Beeson Tree Anderson Valley Pinot Noir

"Anderson Valley Pinots are in many ways the most “Burgundian” of California, and this lightly colored, lightly-textured wine shows why. But there’s nothing light about the spicy complexity."

"I am completely taken aback by the overall explosiveness, the richness, the depth, the old world love that's the cool climate of Anderson Valley, and the new world love. This has everything!"

"Nothing beats a bottle of showy but fabulously food-friendly Pinot Noir, especially if you're a frequent guest at your host's dining table. Finding a wine that has spectacular fruit and concentration, complexity, a bit of Burgundian earthiness, supple tannins and impeccable balance will seal your dinner invites for many moons to come. The 2005 Phillips Hill Oppenlander Vineyard Mendocino Pinot Noir is a good example of what California cool climate fruit can produce. The wine's beautifully artistic label - for which winemaker Toby Hill designs anew each vintage - is a bonus."
