"Anasyrma" Pinot Noir 2018
Anasyrma is an Ancient Greek term for “lifting the skirt,” an act of political protest, eroticism, ritual and lewd jokes.
Anasyrma is effectively "the exposing of the genitals". This is a form of exhibitionism found in religion or artwork, rather than a display for arousal, and it always refers to the act of a woman exposing herself. The act of lifting up one's skirt to display the genitals can be an apotropaic device; it can, in circumstances of war, evoke the fear of the enemy. It can also be an act that evokes surprise and subsequent laughter and a letting go of sadness. What is significant about anasyrma is that it reflects the numinous quality of the female genitals and the genital region through which birth ensues. In several cultures, there is a myth of anasyrma used for emotional healing.[2]
Throughout the world, the act of women exposing themselves is believed to stop natural disasters, chase off enemies, end flooding, scare away supernatural demons and ward off evil, cursing their enemies.
One of the most famous examples is of Venus Callipyge, “Venus of the beautiful buttocks,” based off of a bronze statute, predating the first century BC. The original statue lost its head and legs, and over the course of history has been copied multiple times, with the statue’s legs and head in the 16th century, coyly looking over her shoulder and bringing attention to her backside.
The copy sent to Versailles in the late 17th/early 18th century originally made by Francois Barois was given additional “clothing” by sculpture Jean Thierry so as not to offend the public, an absurd decision based off the fact that is Venus, goddess of love and eroticism.
This is all Pinot Noir from the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA, from a small mountain top vineyard at 700ft on west-facing hillside owned by Bob Farmer, eight miles from the ocean. One third was kept whole cluster, the remainder was destemmed. A mix of foot tread and pumpover to maintain the aromatic freshness and bring out the deep bramble raspberry and blackberry, definitive of the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Five neutral oak barrels, and one first use barrel. 3.54 pH, 0.2 g/L RS, 6.8 g/L TA, 12.9% ALC
