2004 Victoria Pinot Noir

The Giaconda Pinot Noir from Victoria, vintage 2004, is a remarkable expression of this classic varietal. With its striking red hue, this wine captivates the eye before even taking a sip. On the palate, it presents a full-bodied, fruit-forward profile, showcasing an array of vibrant red fruits with an undercurrent of earthy complexity. The acidity is bright and lively, providing a refreshing lift that enhances its overall elegance. Tannins are notable yet finely woven, offering structure without overpowering the delicate nuances of the wine. As a dry wine, it invites exploration, making it an ideal companion for a variety of dishes, particularly those featuring roasted meats or rich, mushroom risottos. Overall, this Pinot Noir stands as a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship that Giaconda is known for, showcasing not just the varietal's inherent qualities but also the distinctive terroir of Victoria.
