Strong notes of petrol/graphite. Definitely terroir driven. Taste comes through the same way, a lot of herbs, bell peppers and some pepper. Not my favorite. Definitely needs to pair with food.

Tart cherry. May had drank it past its time. Overall a pleasant drink. Lacking tannins.

Very much like a Plazzo Della Torre by Allegrini. 7 blends. A little dryer. Drank at Kimberton Inn, PA

I'm not a big fan of Pinot's but this caught me by surprise. This one was full bodied and had delicious notes of dark cherries that lingered on the palate. This is a must try if still available. Well worth the money and could easily become a favorite.

Normally not my cup of tea but was surprised by the quality of this wine considering the price. It went great with my planked salmon on the grill. Lingering taste of strawberries or melon. Tastes seem to change while eating. Not overly acidic which added to its balance.

This was a great vintage. The wine had a lot of depth. Complex flavors of blackberries, cherries along with an earthiness.
