Steele consistently produces Pinot Noir from fine sources at prices well below competing brands. This vintage of Sangiacomo shows cherry, rose and cinnamon aromas with a nice dry earth hint in the background. The palate is silky and full, with well-integrated translation of the nose elements and a long blooming finish with everything in play. Drink now with a pork tenderloin.
