Delicious Pinot from Papapietro Perry that displays classic Sonoma fruit. A bit of earthiness in a lighter body and color. Red cherry notes and a bit of barnyard funk. In spite of a lighter frame this is distinctive in flavor and character. Solid Pinot and a pleasure to drink.

Tasted at the winery. Didn't take detailed notes at the time but the sense memory is strong with this one. Really delicious Pinot with an honest, rustic feel (maybe due to pleasantly rough tannins and some barnyard) but still very precise. Deeply extracted but not jammy or overly fruit-driven at all; Everything was nicely balanced. Definitely among the best new world PN I've had: Serious juice.

Popped and poured. Medium ruby color. Very transparent. Lovely SC pinot aromas of raspberry, cherry, orange peel, blossom, sweet baking spice notes. A little bit of vanilla from the oak coming through as well. Plenty of mixed red berry pie and orange peel flavors on the palate with a juicy mouthfeel. Medium+ acid, medium tannins. Very smooth and just outright delicious.

Black cherries, smoky notes. It's pretty easy drinking but also delivers interesting spice, mineral, and fruit character.

A bit coppery and earthy. Fruity.

Lighter color, soft in the mouth and very flavorful. Enjoyable now but has the structure to age a couple more years. 92+ (13.8% alc)

Pomegranate and plum, smooth and balanced. Excellent for sipping but pairs well with pork.
