Retail $48. When I first started down the domestic Pinot Noir road, Skewis was one of my early “finds.” When I got home from the Wine Bloggers Conference in the Finger Lakes, I was craving California Pinot, so I grabbed a Skewis and some pork chops. The smoke and gaminess of the wine enveloped the chops with its black cherry goodness. On its own? The wine might even be better. Ok. It gets a Whoa. Outstanding. 91-93 Points. thedrunkencyclist.com

When I looked up on Cellar Tracker for a nice bottle for #PinotClock, I noticed that the users of CT feel that many of the 2008 Skewis wines should have been consumed by 2013. Dubious (my experience with Hank Skewis' wines has been close to the opposite--they tend to age very well), I grabbed a bottle and headed upstairs--as I figured, this wine is doing just fine: cherry, anise and a hint of cassis, great balance with fruit up front and vibrant acidity on the backend.
