Drank @ Girasole in AC. Simple, fresh, cherry-focused pinot. Aromas of bright strawberry and cherry. Fresh and vibrant with cola, cherry and graphite. A crowd pleaser.

Another Pinot Noir Italian style. In a good way, I almost always get the same dark cherry, charcoal, and graphite flavors from any red wine made in Italy. This is no exception. Nothing special, but certainly nothing wrong. It does not exactly taste like Pinot Noir as I usually know it, but it doesn't taste all that bad. It is rather light, well made, and well rounded. Really nice dark cherry. More acid on the roof of the mouth than usual for a Pinot. Noticeable tannins on the palate, and all the way through the finish. I can easily imagine this wine, with a little more concentration, easily matching a decent Oregon, or even Burgundian Pinot

A little acidic, peppery at the end. Flavor and taste unremarkable, but finish is long nice mild cherry - not the wild one.
