Nana-Tsu-Mori Pinot Noir

Always impressed that you can have this kind of Pinot Noir in Japan. Hints or spice and herbs on the palate along with the following wild strawberries and cherries. Complex with smooth tannins and long finish.

How does one tidy up a #day of #snowboarding? with a bottle of #pinotnoir from #japan of course. scents of tilled, damp soil, freshly scattered mulch, broken brambles, & slivers of pata negra follow thru on a palate highlighted by memory evoking flavours of pleasingly tart, just picked red huckleberries while traipsing thru a temperate #rainforest in Southeastern Alaska. Pretty damn expressive & heaps tasty. Get some. #nanatsumori by Domaine Takahiko Soga. Something to linger over, the elemental urgency, litheness & raw, electro beauty of this wine.

Japanese Pinot noir, clean, focused, laser acidity, cranberry, lime zest, very light but none of the funk or odd characters one might expect from a pioneering wine region, legit and unique Pinot

Natural. Deep plum, herb. Mineral Elegant

Extremely tight to start. Serious nose, high acid. Perhaps overhyped

Very umami goes well with white fish. Certainly very different from Brugundy

Yes, it seems you can make great Pinot in Hokkaido. Reminds me of Endermole (sic) in Baden..

The hype is most unfortunately real

Believe the hype. A big sweaty vegetal savory note- celery?? chartreuse?? - cloaked in velvet. Something Burgundian yet totally sui generis. Fabulous texture, seductive nose. Thanks to @Geoff Franz
