Pinot Noir | 2016 vintage


Entered: 24

Class comments: A little disappointing that a gold couldn’t be found. The top silver nearly dragged a gold but it wasjust a tad aggressive. In another 6-12 months in bottle and it should be gold worth. Non-award winners were mainlytoo dry and lack in structure or thin.
