Vallée d'Aoste Pinot Noir

Earthy, dark cherry, prune, velvety but still some density, meat juice, cinnamon

Balanced and dry, medium + length, precise

Mountain pinot. Bright, floral and crunchy with plenty of red fruit and savory support. Day in, day out a fantastic QPR in pinot-land. CA, make me this wine at this price point.

This still needs a few years; a convincing case for laying these down. Boss of the Val D'Aoste.

Lean and mean, very interesting cool climate Pinot. Tastes like they utilized carbonic

2012 grosjean Pinot noir. Like a terse, noble, old wood forest on the palate. Needs years to melt into silky awesomeness.

Grosjean never fails.

Good. Simple. Tasty.

Fresh-funky, black cherry, bacon rosemary foccacia

Dusty cool-climate goodness!
