D & L Carinalli is a small winery that brings high quality Pinot Noir at a nice price. This one is for fans of a brightly acidic style, where tart cherry, citrus zest and pleasant oak spice hold court and finish well into the distance. Food is a must here — salmon or game bird will work. A Platinum award winner at the 2017 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
