That’s quite a whine you’re serving. It definitely exhibits a classic Santa Cruz Mountains style - dare I say terroir? Perhaps the whine tradition in Silicon Valley is young, compared to say in the antique French whining regions, but it is concentrated, especially in these last twenty years. I can almost smell the eucalyptus trees outside the window near your cube as I contemplate your whine here. But the astringency, even bitterness, seems to call for a little more time in the cellar. Let’s put that whine down for just a year or two, and when we come back to it, I think it will have improved quite a bit.
