This needs to sit for a few more years... Densely packed black fruit and gravel. The wine is almost masculine. Oak is minimal but pretty big for a pinot. I could see this sitting in a cellar for at least 7-8 more years.

Not usually a fan of Italian #PinotNero but this one is hitting all 8 cylinders. Very Burgundian in style with a hint of that classic barnyard George Clinton funk but nothing overwhelming. We like a little funk, gotta have some funk. Earth tones, faint hint of violets. Great on its own.
