Birichino - Lilo Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013
California
Red
Sold individually
Drink or Keep
The schist, sandstone and slate soils on which this Pinot Noir is planted produce a fresh, intensely aromatic wine. Typical raspberry and cherry notes mingle in the glass. The finish is energetic, on red berries and spices. The viticulture and vinification here are perfectly mastered. A very good Pinot!
