Big cherry, mineral notes, but remains light on its feet. Good stuff.

Classic, varietally correct pinot noir. Cherry, cola, earth. A beauty and a nice value.
Red

A unique one... starts light and fresh, finishes with sneaky tannin. Good savory notes too. Nice example of the variety.

Perhaps a little bolder than earlier vintages (Lucifer and all), but still a beauty. Lovely balance, fresh and complex.

Red - Sparkling
2016 Fiorini Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro Becco Rosso

Things I love about this: the impossibly deep color, the not too fizzy effervescence, the bone dry finish. Lovely example of what Lambrusco can be.
