This is Nobilo's top-line bottling for Pinot Noir and they show great attention to detail with this effort.
The Nobilo Icon Pinot Noir is a beautiful medium purple color that leans toward ruby. The aromas are all dark cherries, plums and oak.
The flavors are very forward dark cherries and oak with cola and plum rounding out the profile. I really liked this and was impressed by the quality for a $17 price point. My friend Patrick brought this bottle over and we had similar notes for the tasting of this bottle. This is a very hefty Pinot. Nice body on this wine.
This bottle is gone, but it must have been my lucky week because my friend Michael also brought a bottle of this wine over to be reviewed this week.
This is great for the price point - the typical retail on this bottle is close to $30. It drinks very easily close to a $30 price point. Great find!
