Juicy core and highly textured, tugging palate. Dynamic palate well-suited to the table.

I never would have guessed that this came from slovenia. This drinks like super suave Sonoma Pinot. Incredibly impressive for the money.

Great pinot from Slovenia. Light fruit, oak, graphite and tobacco on the nose. Raspberries, medium tannins and a nice, earthy finish. Very good with grilled salmon.
