Even in Its youth, the 2018 Modus Operandi Cellars Pinot from the oft-heralded Bacigalupi Vineyard is more than just approachable- it’s unreal. The nose is already in bloom with oodles of Burgundy-like bramble berry, while the mouthfeel is as silk should be defined.

This producer is so consistently strong.
Nose displays lemon zest, sherbet and white fruits. Mid palate is less extravagant than previous vintages - which we love. More focus and tension propped up with zippy acidity.
