Pale red. Ripe cherry, hint of earth. Hint of savory leather development. Umami. Almost confected cherry. Cherry energy drink (carbonic?) earthy and almost sweaty.
14% alcohol- slightly elevated. Slightly elevated acid. Medium minus tannins. Melted (development). A bit bitter. Well-integrated oak - mostly used but a little new.
Based on the complexity and elevated alcohol and deep fruit, Sonoma pinot RRV with some age 2015.
Actual: fratelli Serio and Batista borgogno barbaresco 2020
Analysis; dismissed the bitterness.
The tannins aren’t strong enough to be classic in my opinion. really nice wine! Or maybe I need to recalibrate.
