Ronco del Gelso 'Sintesi dei Capitoli' Friuli Isonzo, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy 2016 Case (6x750ml) Domaine de Courbissac The 2019 Pinot Noir Russian

The 2019 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is pure and ripe with raspberry liqueur

highly refined and subtle yet also complex bouquet that doesn't throw out anything else but noblesse

and leaves me craving a cold slab of terrine or gamey pate

mineral style of the Anderson Valley front and center

which transmits a lot

Ronco del Gelso 'Sintesi dei Capitoli' Friuli Isonzo, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy 2016 Case (6x750ml) Domaine de Courbissac The 2019 Pinot Noir RussianThe Merlot Sintesi dei Capitoli from Ronco del Gelso is intense ruby red with light purple reflections. The nose is complex with aromas of ripe red fruit and berries, floral notes of dried flowers and spicy hints of pepper, liquorice and cinnamon. On the palate it is enveloping and robust, characterized by sweet tannins and an elegant spiciness, long in the finish with a light salty note.
