Clos Pegase Mitsuko's Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018 Review
This is a good Pinot Noir. The alcohol is a bit high, and some of the perception of sweetness comes from said alcohol, but the high acidity keeps the wine in check. Under the layer of heat there are nice strawberry and cherry vibes. This is a great wine to bring to a gracious host or maybe to a wine and cheese night with your pals.
