This is the year of tiny yields and
tiny berries, which of course produce red wines of unusual depth and
richness, both from the lower yields and from the much higher
percentage of skins - which is where color and flavor come from in
red wines - to juice. Those in the image are from the 2015 Andromeda
Pinot Noir, mostly about the size of peppercorns; I've never seen
such a harvest before; the wine, just now gone dry, bears no
resemblance in color to normal Pinot, yet seems at this point
perfectly balanced, which is always what counts. May it remain so...
