Foppiano Vineyards Estate Pinot Noir 2017 Review
If you need a bottle for the boss or the parents, this wine will be a good go-to. It's a little pricey so it looks good when they google it. It’s a Pinot Noir for Cab drinkers. The wine has intense dark fruit, and is a bit boozy with high alcohol. This Pinot can hang with a steak and another bottle of cab on the table.
