Mission Briefing
Infinity's Shore
In today’s wine we find all sorts of intriguing connections to other wines and wineries that we’ve featured in the past. Mike Kuimelis has grown grapes for some remarkable wines, including a recently-featured wine from Geyser Peak, and from Mike’s own Mantra label.
Winner of a gold medal from the San Francisco Chronicle International Wine Competition, today’s 2009 Mobius Wines Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is a velvet-smooth wine that shows an even balance between fruitiness and earthiness.
This delicious wine is a tad shy on opening, but after some vigorous swirling it really opens up. In fact, it really shines with more authentic fruit flavors and a finer, more voluptuous mouth feel.
Whether you are a fan great Pinot Noir or a fan of Mike Kuimelis’ work (in the vineyards or in the cellar), we are certain that you will love his wonderful and budget-friendly (high QPR) Mobius Pinot Noir.
