Lightly fragrant, hint of black pepper, smoke with some tight non-open red fruit. Palate is more delicious, nearly zero tannin, but good lively acidity, fresh red fruit, sour cherry, plum. Good, light spice, very drinkable.

Bayard city and taste like a barrel wine of that was filled and then completely forgotten about. Not my cup of tea.

Pretty meh, drinkable. On a hot day, was enjoyable texture-wise--light bodied, low tanins, spice not too overpowering. Points for its unripened, sour fruit flavor. Def not a dreaded fruit bomb.

Visually has light color as Pinot noir does. Exuberant flavor and aroma of red fruits. Affordable and drinkable. Lighter body makes it possibly a good summer wine

Bright, approachable Rhone. Not heavy; sweet cherry and pot pourri (sp?) on nose, smooth and medium weight on palate. $16.

With a beef casserole, very nice but lacking compared to its sisters from the same vineyard
