2010 Balletto Burnside Road Vineyard Estate Bottled Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.1% alc., 350
cases, $35 (retail $40). Gold Medal 2011 Sonoma County Harvest Fair.
·
Moderately light reddish-purple color
in the glass. Aromas of very ripe dark berries and plums with hints of prune and oak. Middleweight very ripe
fruit flavors with notes of Hoison sauce and rhubarb. A bit linear and bogged down with oak. Soft tannins
make for easy drinking. Disappoints for a medal winner, but may find fans among those who prefer very ripe
flavored Pinot Noir. Good.

Demure aromas of dark red fruits with a faint

Huge bang for the buck.
