How funky is your Pinot

I recently tried the funkiest Pinot Noir. From Alsace, France, the wine is made biodynamically, unfiltered and unfined. Biodynamic winemaking processes rely heavily on nature and phases of the moon and such. The winemaker tries to interfere as little as possible with the natural process of grape to wine. This Julien Meyer 2005 Pinot Noir is a murky ruby red whose flavor profile evolves quite uniquely in the glass. It starts off with strawberry and a bit of that nice earthy funk that Pinots can be known for. Then you begin to notice fresh dill on the nose and palate, which eventually turns into dill pickle flavors. A fascinating wine! Also interesting is the fact that it is sealed with a glass cork (yes, it looks like a nipple) encased in a metal twist cap. I had never seen this before - very interesting. At around $35, this is definitely a wine I recommend if you like funky Pinot. It is available at Eli's W. I. N. E. on the upper east side.
