Sensation: Earthy Wines

"Earthy wines are a real treasure. Generally, earthier varietals tend to be Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and sometimes Cab Franc. There is by no means a hard set rule here--every wine is unique and different, and sometimes this brilliant rocky, fresh turned earth, petricore type of tone can pop out of the least expected wines. If you're looking for a wine that really ties you into the soil it was grown from, this is where you look."
