Modus Operandi Bacigalupi Pinot Noir

This is a soft rich and complex Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. The aromas on the nose are diverse and clear: raspberry jam fresh picked strawberries and red flowers are the dominant impressions. The palate follows through on the nose and adds baking spices forest floor lambskin leather and mint. Both nose and palate show best after one hour. The mouthfeel is the highlight of this wine. Its strikingly soft and rich but does not have the added weight that usually accompanies richness. The finish is enduring with a touch of sweet vanilla and pomegranate.
