Bella Vigna (“Beautiful Vines”) bottling is a Sonoma Coast blend. Juicy strawberry and cherry fruit, with baking spice. — 8 months ago
I think it because more balanced over time, so I'd recommend holding or decanting if drinking in the next year. — 4 years ago
Pale lemon color with aromas of stone fruits and blossom and spice, fruit from the Martinelli Charles Ranch, two miles in from the Pacific, aged for 12 months in 25% new oak. On the palate flavors of apple and pear with a touch of zesty lemon, crisp, with nitty vanilla notes. Nice mouthfeel, vivid acidity, medium+ finish ending with fruit, vanilla and citrus mineral character. Nice! — 5 months ago
Great wine. Sweet but not too sweet. Strong, fruity smell, “lychee” like taste — 5 years ago
An excellent Pinot! — 6 months ago
Consistent with prior April 2022 note with additional depth and density of mouthfeel — 3 years ago
