Interesting floral/fruity notes with strong minerality on the nose.
The kaleidascopic profile is an interesting one wiht a fruitful old world expression, nice terrroir expression, and minerality.
It is very c/w Sicilian wines I've had . . . but my experience in that category is very limited.
I can say this for sure . . . I LIKED IT. Will definatrey keep my eye out for more of this varietal and wines from this region.
Good with many food dishes, but I do not think it will stand up to the heaviest of dishes/casseroles, etc . . .

I remember tasting this a while back and buying some bottles & laying them down to age.

Wrong bottle to age. This is a very nice decent straightforward wine, but medium bodied not very complex what straightforward taste.
Decent but did not wow me. Quality worth 90 points.

Threw out the glass then I chilled the bottle some. Much better second time around with a new glass. Recommend it.

Very nicely balanced fruit expressive Central Coast Pinot with a nice layering of olives & wood/stony/herbal tones. Very nice expression your price range too.
