Balletto Pinot showdown no. 1
Best in the mouth.
Light ruby-garnet. Visually appears to have age beyond it's 4 years to me.
Not a great nose- overripe fruit, some blue notes, oaky spice- maybe has seen new American oak?
Mouth: wow, great full++ mouth feel, a really nice roundness here, unexpected.
This wine is ready to drink right now!

2017 Release!
Medium purple color. Aromas of cherry skin, smoked cedar and violets. Bright cherry flavors, earthy and smoky. Great vintage!
