This is pretty run-of
-the-mill Abruzzo. Chewy and pleasant. I've got 3 bottles and will probably drink the others when I'm grilling.

I broke down and joined Costco today. This is a solid Giggy. Light texture and very pleasing outside at the fire pit. Took the photo inside.

This is hitting the spot on a hot summer night. Crisp, with aromas of melon and honey. Not at all dry like other reviewers mentioned; it's just very bright and acidic. But, the flavors are sweet and tropical. 10% alcohol.

"La Val" is Spanish for "The Val." And we are drinking La Val with our friend Val. So, it's all coming together.

Yummy and chewy. This wine is very bright and approachable. Cherry, blueberry, cranberry, violets, and vanilla lead to a soft, Jolly Rancher finish with shy tannins. This is a real treat today, especially after drinking my sister's Tableau.

It seems I'm the first to rate this? Well, my pleasure! The nose is just delicious creme brulee. And a little lemon curd. Awesome! The mouthfeel is luxurious, with flavors of custard, vanilla, pineapple, lemon bars. It tastes like a dessert shop. This is absolutely wonderful. Another huge win for this Australian maker!

I don't really get this style of Pinot Noir. So heavy handed with such a delicate grape. Overly oaked and spicy. Give me burgundy!

I miss them. Life’s Rich Pageant is a favorite. With US PN, I gravitate toward Oregon and Sta. Rita Hills. Different styles, but both can be so nice.

Yeah! I miss them too, @Tom Casagrande And I agree with you about US PN. I have a very short list of Cali PNs that delight.
