Community Tasting Note

  April 17, 2024 - Badass. I won't give this a number rating, as I don't generally drink a lot of quality vermouth, and don't review them on here. But as with all her wines, this is very nuanced, with a lot of beautiful complexity. It's certainly the best use of the infamous smoke-damaged 2020 Willamette Pinot I've seen. The way the dark raspberry/black cherry Pinot fruit blends with the wild herbs, spices, and leathery, slightly nutty accents is really awesome. It's intense on its own, but very drinkable and balanced, especially with the high ABV, and in a cocktail (manhattan with Bulleit 12 yr rye and angostura, made a couple at the end of the bottle) it shines even more, lending an austere leather armchair note with a cool, earthy bitterness rather than the "sweet" vermouth tone more typical for the drink.
