GUINIGI

CIRQ 2021 Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, Sonoma County ($150)

A divine creation of red fruit, spice, and earth. Penny royale minerality and deep, dark chocolate alerts the palate. A release of cinnamon-clove cherries is juicy, with a kiss of hibiscus. White-peppered cranberry brings a sapidity to the palate, encouraging us to revel in its energy.
