Appassionata Pinot Noir “Allegro”

This cuvée is a selection of barrels that show a precocious liveliness and expressivity that will drink well as a youthful wine but is built to age. Bottled after 18 to 20 months in barrel, and released three years after the vintage, the Allegro beautifully displays the beginnings of bottle maturation that is only revealed with time and cannot be rushed. The 2019 is delicately textured, but dark in tone and richly flavored with an insistent edge of black cherry fruit, and a juicy, lifted finish.
