راديو-كوتو 'لا نيبلاينا' بينو نوار 2022، سونوما

Decided to compare this side-by-side with a much pricier Oregon Pinot and honestly this 92-94 point wine held its own — that bright cherry and earthy finish was way more complex than I expected for the price.

Opened it on a random Tuesday and honestly the nose alone pulled me in—dark cherry and that earthy Sonoma character. It's smooth enough to sip solo but still has the structure to stand up to a roast chicken dinner. Exactly why I keep coming back to this vintage.

The 92-94pt ratings are no joke—this 2022 Pinot delivers a beautifully balanced, earthy complexity that keeps you coming back for another sip. It's smooth enough to drink now but I'll stash a few bottles for the cellar.
