FEL - Breggo Cellars Donnelly Creek Pinot Noir 2016 Review
It's big and oaky for a pinot, which is a style that seems to be sticking around. High alcohol fills this wine before aromas of cherry cola, vanilla and earthy beetroot have a chance to emerge. As they do emerge these aromas are in battle for recognition. It's a wine that will work for times when wine is not the focus.
