Skunky rubber-band goodness stretched taut over a framework of fading fruit. One-dimensional tannins showing their rusty flat fronts to the world. Pear-sauce and electrical fire vie for dominance over raspberry you want to eat so bad but it's early and the birds won't even eat them yet so you just nurse their tight bodies around in your mouth, bruising the segments to much acidic acclaim. Then you jam your nose into it again and you're eternally grateful for owning this wine and every moment you had with it. What is this, $30 full retail? Well-shopped EASILY down in 15-18 dolla range. This is one of those wines where you only want 4 of something but you get 40% off if you fill up that six pack so you grab two of these and bada-bing, you're getting that $70 cab for 40 bucks and you have two of the most ridiculously perfect Santa Barbara County Pinot Noirs money can buy. @aubonclimat will be pouring hard @worldofpinot this weekend. I might even work in an over-the-shoulder selfie with The Mind Behind. #aubonclimat #WOPN2018 (at Au Bon Climat Winery)

SWIRL: Sweet candy filling unctuous AND tart toying with wet wood, green and fern-dripped giving a nice coating to the dark chocolate lurking, but overall, a bright sunny ripeness. SIP: Meaty cherry and canned peaches compete with bitter green, dividing your mind evenly between minerality, vegetal, and tannin, bringing elegant weight to a wine which teeters on cloying. Continuing my @worldofpinot countdown to this weekend, @witherswinery WILL BE POURING! Do you have tickets? #witherswinery #WOPN2018 #libbeyglass #pinotnoir (at World Of Pinot Noir)
