Incredible food wine — a bright, beautiful orange wine with just the right amount of grip. Apricot, orange marmalade, seashell, and an elusive floral perfume.
With all the hype around skin contact wines (and the Friulan mastery of the style) I’m amazed that these Skerk wines aren’t more of a thing.
Also amazed that Vitovska, native to the Carso of Friuli / Kras in Slovenia, isn’t more of a thing. This variety fucks…. — 2 years ago

This wine was fermented with native, wild yeast in concrete or steel and then aged in neutral oak barrels for about six months. According to the @scribewinery website, it comes from "vineyards planted with equal parts of two California heritage clones ideal for the region’s dense clay: Martini and Pommard. The Martini grapes add spice and fresh, high tones complemented by the Pommard’s natural earthiness."
Scribe, Carneros, XII. Beauty Blue, Pinot Noir, Vintage 2018. ABV 13.5%.
Los Carneros, meaning 'the rams' in Spanish, is a unique wine region because it is shared between Sonoma County and Napa Valley. It is one of my favorite places in Califorina for Pinot Noir. With the coastal breezes and fog channeling inland from San Pablo Bay, the vines have a combination of sun and cooling moderators, to aid in both the ripening and the preservation of acidity / brightness of character, which can ultimately lead to a well-balanced, but also well-concentrated wine.
I picked this up at @france_44 and would definitely buy it again. — 4 years ago
