Alloro Vineyard Riservata Pinot Noir 2016

Blog

Blended from a selection of blocks across the winery’s 78-acre estate, the 2016 Alloro Riservata is clean and precise. Black cherries and black raspberries lie beneath more ethereal notes of lanolin, dried herbs, forest floor, and blooming florality. Aged in 35%-45% new French oak barrels—in the mouth, it’s exquisitely balanced with ultra-fine, sueded tannins twining bright acidity that crescendos in a pretty sensory arc—one that gradually subsides in a trail of dried oregano, creeping thyme, and a dusting of minerality. 14.3% ABV | Sample
