Community Tasting Note

Friday, August 23, 2013 - This wine will bring you back to the Roman Empire. You have to love this wine because of 1) the history behind the wine making COS partnership and friendship; 2) the sexy shape of the bottle; and 3) the ancient wine making methods used including fermenting and aging in amphora pots buried to neck level in the ground. Bio-dyanmic to boot. With that perspective, you'll certainly taste as much terroir as fruit including hints of clay from the jars. This is an esoteric "cult" wine with more bragging rights than any of those Californians charging 10 times more with nothing to back it up other than a Parker score or two. At $34 a bottle, how can you not love COS Pithos. Et tu, Screaming Eagle!
