Great wet hay and barnyard Pinot nose. But that’s the best bit. Very light and thin. Jammy and easy but no character or complexity. 2018 Arroyo Seco.

Good. Different. Strawberries, cherries, earth and herbs. Nice minerality. A lighter pinot.

Had a fall out with Pinot Noir but this is great. I got cranberry, strawberry fruit and cola on the palate with medium acidity.

Light Pinot, strawberry, cherry, sweet but balanced. Beautiful bright red color. Great deal!
