Roar for ROAR

Trying - unsuccessfully - to grab a case of ROAR Pisoni Pinot Noir for 2 or 3 years -

When a 2001 showed up on the wine list at Il Sole (LA) - had to go for it -

The resulting pleasure - reigniting my quest for a case -

A touch of sour cherry which seems to mellow as the wine opens in the glass - rounded edges - balance - lush fruit - without the massive forwardness of some of the other Pisonis - refinement -
