Sunday, July 26, 2020 - Retail $50. I have said often in this space that I am a bit of a Pinot hound and that the variety was my vehicle to evolve from being an obnoxious French wine snob to a slightly less obnoxious French wine snob. Byron Kosuge was one of those first producers that led to my metamorphosis. I bought a singular bottle of this vintage on one of my subsequent visits with Byron and I decided to pop it to compare with a Kosuge Hirsch Vineyard from the same vintage. This wine? Earth with black cherry on the nose, while the palate is rich and multi-layered. There's just no getting around two assertions: Byron is a talented winemaker, and this Habitat is rather delicious. Just short of a Whoa. thedrunkencyclist.com
