Giovingo Vineyards is a new producer to me, and one I’ll definitely be seeking out to see what else they might be up to. This is gorgeous Pinot Noir, with a silky texture delivering ripe cherry, dry and damp earth minerality, classy oak spice and great integration. There’s great depth here – and the price is more than fair. Well done! A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
