Pours a sexy, delicate strawberry color, crystal clear and playful in the glass. Some volcanic, rocky notes on the nose and a strong herbal/floral structure on the palate point to carbonic maceration as the vinification method. Underripe wild strawberries join, and eventually ripe, giving strawberry syrup and raspberry jam. An unusual but delightful burgundy. Wine #500! — 9 years ago

My 500th wine!
I was very excited to try this Pinot from Herman Story. Clocking in at 15.2%, like any other of their wines, this is no shy flower.
Over the top in a magnificent way. Explosive nose and bursting with cherry and cola. Despite the high octane, there is balance and no acrid burn.
She definitely deserves the name Smash City! — 7 years ago

Sweet golden honey, elegant and aging well. Would have expected an older vintage. Perfect for a night of white truffles. #500 #happyoneyearanniversary — 10 years ago

Wine #500 here. Old school Syrah - some blood, iron, and loads of smoked meat/game. 2 hour decant recommended. Count me as a fan! — 5 years ago
