Stobi Macedon Pinot Noir 2019 (750ml) CarignanoPinot Noir From the country of North Macedonia, this stunning Pinot is named for Alexander the Great (the original Macedon), and hails from an area known as the cross roads of the ancient world.

The mouthfeel is silky with delicate color with well-structured tannins
