Classic side pose (my left side photographs better) and added earring fun. Classic Italian grape added Lodi fun. I’m verily into it. One must mix things up. Studying Champagne pest-fighting technique earlier I learned that “sexual confusion” is the new pesticide there (this is not a joke) so maybe varietal location confusion is the new vaccine? I wish.
Anyway this also has about 12% Petite Sirah and also was in some new oak and is indelibly new world in a way I like. So much cola and vanilla and deep ripe red cherries but something. Some kick. Some oomph. That would make me say...not a pinot noir? If blind tasted.
I dunno it is yummy and apparently there is a guy who comes to the Oak Farm (shoutout to them having a woman winemaker on team) tasting room every day-ish for lunch who has a glass of this and takes the rest home. I wouldn’t mind more. More earrings. More wine? Okay

This Italian grape grows dark in Lodi. The nose gives off black cherry, blackberry, cigar and cedar. It is a complex and delightful package of aromas. The palate is also dominated by dark fruit, with plentiful oak effects. It is a fresh wine, with lively acidity, and the tannins have a bit of bite just after the cork is removed. Wait a bit and they settle down.
