Pinot Noir is an invariably tricky grape to grow but it has found a stable home here in California. The moderate climate in wine hotspot Lodi is perfect for producing wines with complexity and varietal accuracy. This new offering from winemaker Natale Gagliardo delivers on all counts. True to its varietal typicity, there's raspberry and wild strawberry fruit aplenty in the Vinitor, nestled alongside some welcome earth and spice. With its trademark pale garnet colour, vibrant acidity and soft, mellow tannins, this soft and sumptuous Pinot is guaranteed to please.
