Coelho 2009 Paciência Estate Pinot Noir

Price $42

Online Exclusive

Price $42

Done in a lighter style, and listed at under 13% alcohol, this is scented with sweet strawberries and tastes like them also, with a soft core of fruit and very gentle tannins. Light streaks of sassafras and chocolate wrap it up. — P.G. (10/1/2010)
