VIDEO CHAPTER INDEX:

=====================

If you have yet to sign up for your Monthly HanDrinksSolo Wine Subscription then you’ll have to hunt this wine down in your own to be able to connect the info to the wine in the bottle. But until then, I’ve left you some tasting notes and the winemaking technical specs.
That said, it’s still worth watching the video, as thre are some pretty cool revelations about new additions to the Kottabos range.

👃🏼 The vanguard carries salted red liquorice, mushrooms, and a hint of musk, which is are all well within the textbook parameters for Pinot Noir. But then there are also notes of red plum taffy, creamy strawberry chewing candy, so Stompie doesn’t completely avoid the carbonic notes (not that I’m complaining, because the end result delightful).

👄 Straight out the gate we have some pretty darn wild sour cherry and blood orange acidity that leaps out to meet you. But, just as happened on the aromas, the sweeter candy notes form this really attractive foil to the slightly more obvious Pinot elements.
When it comes to the structure, there are still some grippy tannins, although they’re very light, but happily, the sweeter red plum, and touches of cherry fruit, outlast the tannic sensation considerably. So your parting thought is vibrant red fruit, rather than any sort of phenolic touch.
