GUINIGI

Auteur 2022 Pinot Noir, Balinard Vineyard, Russian River Valley, Sonoma County ($85)

Roses and tart cherries show elegance, with cinnamon-cedar as a backdrop, but ultimately, this Pinot Noir exhibits a gravitas of mouthfeel that goes beyond a flavor profile. Acidity is perfectly balanced with fruit, and earth tones are more ethereal, like wet stone rather than an ode to soil and mushroom. This wine displays the grace of nature.
