Top Notes For
Magnavita Cellars

Translucent, Brick red color. Cherry vanilla aromas w/ pencil shaving notes. Unique body that starts round & lush but then reverts back to a lightness that accentuates the earthy herbal notes that then finish w/ dried cherry fruit.

Super ripe and a tad overblown but polished in a Sinskey kind of way

Love Sinksey wines so much. This Pinot has boat loads of fruit with a touch of smokiness

62 wharf. Best Pinot noir I have tried. Light, juicy, more flavorful than most

I didn't really like it at all, very disappointed. I've had lots of $13 bottles that are better. Way too tart. Call me crazy but if I'm paying for a $32 bottle of wine, I don't want a twist off cap.... And I wouldn't have minded as much if it were even the least bit smooth but it wasn't. :(

A little more fruit on the front than Sinskey generally brings. Still a nice little sipper.

Super solid Pinot by Robert Sinskey. Slightly more pepper, body, and earthiness than some other RSV pinots that I've had...

A bit juicier than a regular Pinot. Hints of strawberry and nice earthiness.
