Maybe I had the best bottle ever in this vintage by this producer but I flat out loved this wine. From sip, to mouthfeel, to finish, it was so well balanced and really enjoyable. I don't really fawn over American pinot noir that often but for whatever reason, this one stood out and had me very pleased. Am actually about to head to the store to pick up a few more bottles.

My first Mascarello, for 40th bday celebration at Del Posto in NYC. I think I expected more? It was good, soft and delicate and balanced but lacked the depth I think I was expecting? Second bottle was a 2011 Produttori Barbaresco at ~1/4 of the price which I enjoyed a bit more. But think I will try a better vintage of this wine and see if that steps it up a notch.

Too green and bitter for my taste.
