Go-to Pinot. Have had this over and over. Light, fruity, easy drinking. Great summer red.

Ruby with berry fruit aromas with a touch of spice scents. On the palate raspberry and strawberry flavors, some oak and pepper, simple, good balance, a bit savory, fine tannins with medium finish ending with oak notes. Tasting Sample.

Still too bitter. Reminds me too much of vinegar

Pretty fruit forward with cherry taking the reigns, surprisingly dry finish. Top-notch minerality, a priority in my ratings. Good Pinot.

I agree with the other comments. This has a lot of body and complexity. Not thin like many lower priced Pinots. Going back to the store to buy more.
