2012 Gioia. A little tight at the moment but a promising future. Smells like whole cluster Pinot and has some grip to back it up. Excellent mid- weight Pinot. Give it a couple yrs.

Like it. Bit of cherry cola notes coming through. Gets better with air.

Big Pinot with lots of fruit. Some spice on the nose and then the fruit hits. Well knit and finishes nicely wothout being overt. I tend to like my pinots a little less forward, but this one is a crowd pleaser and should drink well for several more years.

Such a solid wine and value. Cherry and baking spices.

Wow, this stuff was killer. High pitched red fruits, very grenache like. Wish I had more :(
