Lafond SRH Series Pinot Noir 2017 Review
This wine is nice, rich, and savory, with a tart twist. It smells like cherries and soil with a dollop of balsamic. The palate is so damn smooth, you’ll do a double take. It’s deep, but sultry smooth, and you just wanna chew on it. This wine, with a juicy duck breast, might make you giggle.
