My first experiences with the Lombardi Pinot Noir line were quite positive, and this wine picks up right where the first two left off. Laser-focused cherry cola aromas and flavors announce its place of origin clearly, and they get a boost from subtle damp earth and a suggestion of lively fall spices. Bright acidity keeps the flavor coming through the finish, where a vanilla kiss invites you back for more. Nicely executed!
