Needs to lighten up, drinks like a Syrah, rich deep color with ripe fruit and think silky finish.

Snappy cherry, bright red fruit. Light red color and light bodied. Earth on the finish. Flavorful.

After having to give up on a prematurely aged 2008 burgundy, we gave this a pop n pour. A big wine with a lot of fruit.

Blockbuster! Pinotphiles like should buy this up fast as they can. Rumor has it that this is the last Bacigalupi produced as Venge is moving fans to its sister winery, Croix Estate. I’m taking two...cases!

Great balance of fruit and acid. Floral, raspberry, long soft finish.
