Aubaine Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

Good Pinot. The fruit tasted a little cooked, there wasn't much complexity, and the acidity had really faded. I expected more from LWC, especially in a great vintage. — 7 years ago

Giornata

Ramato Pinot Grigio Rosé 2015

This delicious, delicious wine is actually an orange Pinot Grigio, although it looks like a cloudy rosé. It's unfiltered and unrefined, and it tastes like an irresistible summer punch that you can't stop drinking, with notes of strawberry, apricot, and lime. A hint of nuttiness rounds it out, and it's just the right amount of sweet (not too much); it's balanced, clean, and I'll be drinking it alllll summer long. 😍 — 7 years ago
