Balletto Pinot showdown wine no.4
This was my least favored of the group.
Medium ruby, light secondary of garnet, a bit turpid.
Nose: most fruit character of the bunch and least amount of earth, wood etc. Gives me the sense of late spring to early Summer.
Mouth: medium body, but the acid hits hard and is out of balance with the wine. Gives me a sense of human manipulation, probably added acidity.

Spice and fruit, not a lot of depth but has had very little time in the bottle. Easy drinking.
