2010 Foppiano Pinot Noir Estate Bottled ReserveRussian River Valley more |
8/13/2018 - FullerFamily Likes this wine: 91 pointsI love the strawberry, tobacco and white pepper that’s all over this vintage. It is well balanced and the fruit has stood up well to aging. It hasn’t been lost to the oak, which can sometimes happen over time. Instead, the tannins are well resolved here and help to actually highlight the delicious red fruit that’s right up front on the palate. The nose is all spice box and pipe smoke. I’m so glad I laid a few bottles down when these shipped a few years ago. |

5/13/2014 - FullerFamily wrote: 95 pointsQuite likely the best rose' I've had as a non rose' drinker. Not overly dry. Lots of strawberry and prunes on the nose. Surprisingly, finish has hints of caramel. Excellent QPR. |
