Cavaillon melon

more so than the more linear and focused 2016 Brunello Pianrosso (that I preferred by a tiny margin)

One to tuck away

and it’s fresh and lively on the palate

Lovely stuff and in particular I like the sense of harmony here

Calera, Pinot Noir Jensen other_regions Cavaillon melonA racy, voluptuous wine, the 2012 Pinot Noir Jensen Vineyard shows the radiance of the vintage. Sweet red cherries, kirsch, mint, wild flowers and plums flesh out in an open knit, intense wine built on texture. The 2012 remains quite primary. It can be enjoyed today, but will be even better in another few years, once the aromatics develop more fully and some of the baby fat drops off. Antonio Galloni
