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.
