2014 Macphail Family Wines Pinot Noir Wightman House Anderson Valley
“Surprising tannins balance its red fruits…”
“Surprising tannins balance its red fruits…”
“Stylish and light-hearted…”
“Heady and exotic, with great purity of fruit…”
“Strawberries and mint and refreshment…”
The biodynamic winemaker on philosophy, technology, modernity, and his young but vital project.
The conversation continues, mostly about the translation of substance into essence.
“White and red grapes fermented in beeswax-lined amphora…”
“Bloody enough, with rare meat and roses…”
“Muscular but with fine lines and filigree…”
“Decadent white flowers, citrus pith, brioche, and stony minerality…”
“Cherry-scented and ripe tomato-y, in keeping with Pinot’s lineage…”
“Enough freshness for sushi, salad, fresh cheeses, and fish…”
