Aberrant Cellars Carpe Noctem Pinot Noir 2009

Note from the Winemaker:

Carpe Noctem: {seize the night} There are some activities which simply seem better suited for when darkness falls and our animal spirits are once again awakened from daytime temperance…in addition to those[!], savoring this provocative wine should be placed toward the top of the list. 

As the name of this wine suggests, one can easily get lost in its magnitude (much like the night, itself )- deep, sensuous, structured and carnal, yet graceful enough to walk the high-wire of balance. Sadly, attributes such as these are fleeting and nature will only provide a tiny bounty in which to offer these rare qualities- such is wine as it is in life.

 

So, for those who are up to the task, carpe diem and then, Carpe Noctem!
