From Les Claypool, the front man of Primus, an autographed bottle of his 2008 Purple Pachyderm Russian River Valley Pinot Noir and a signed T-Shirt.  This wine has a dark ruby red color. The aromatics are of supple black cherry, ripe red berry, and ginger spice along with hints of spearmint and almond. The aromas lead into similar fruit flavors followed by a medium bodied mouthfeel and chalky oak tannins. Crisp, balanced acidity and a lingering silky finish support the wine. A very nice wine.  To get your hands on a bottle, www.claypoolcellars.com.
