Tasting Panel

This Pinot Noir from the Loire and organically farmed vines. Fermented in stainless and used wood and aged in large barrels for up to 12 months. This earthy, pure red-berry-driven wine has plenty of verve, energy, and tension with sandalwood accents and dried wildflowers. Medium-bodied with assertive, firm tannins and a spine of zippy acidity. It is a steal for the money, considering the price of equally vivacious Burgundy wines.
