It is a technique that is bandied about quite a bit in the blogosphere and the movies (Mondovino, ugh). I think that Michael, who is a scholar by training, does a great job of laying out the reasons for its usefulness. Though I am not equipped for micro-ox, it is something that I have seen used effectively many times.... For those of you who do not know Michael's wines they are excellent. His Hudson Syrah and Cheval Blanc-style Bourriquet, in particular, bring out the aromatic enticements and elegance one would hope to find from the Syrah and Cab Franc varietals. He was also one of the first to understand the brilliance of Hyde and Hudson Vineyards in the Napa Carneros-- two vineyards that are now synonomous with top-quality and top producers.
