One of my hobbies is reading the backs of wine bottles. One of tonight's gems is an Orentano Pinot Noir 2005.
Our passion for winemaking was born many generations ago in the sleepy Tuscan village of Orentano. Across the water and over the mountains, the new love affair between old family traditions and young fertile soils, has given birth to our delicate Pinot Noir. The flirtatious romance of cool Pacific breezes, whispering of Russian River Valley moons, ultimately enlightens the vinter with a delightful crimson and lingering bouquet. At R. Buocristiani Vineyard, such intimate relationship symbolizes the essence, strength and everlasting devotion to our craft. Thus, as you ponder your thoughts and swirl your precious wishes upon your dreams, we invite you to breathe the earthy aroma and savor the fruit of this vintage.
