Tried this again, still not great, seemed a bit more spicy that previous notes. Medium red with a Berry fruit nose giving off a strong spice. On the palate, cherry and tart strawberry flavors together with tea spice and savory tannins, very thin. A medium finished, not great, pass Tasting Sample.

Robust for pinot. Needs to breathe for a long time.

Light garnet to ruby red. Nose had notes of red cherries, almost candied and flowers. Tart cherries on the palate with low acidity. Light bodied with a dry paper like short finish. Very simple and easy drinking. Nothing off-putting, just simple.

Smooth. A little flat. But 12 bucks at Target? Pretty good bang for those bucks.

LoveNoir could be hiding the country of growth or vinification (perhaps New Zealand) from the labelling. Only bottling is mentioned on the back. This conduct would be illegal. While it is redonkulously inexpensive, I still want to hear from any of my friends who will own up to having exposed their palates to a PN <$10

I’m new at choosing wines. I know what I like, that’s a start! Lol. I read a great article this morning that brought me to the Delectable app. Previously i was using Vivino. https://www.buzzfeed.com/hannahloewentheil/how-to-pick-a-good-bottle-of-wine?utm_term=.dhE9yMb5d#.ftW5d4VOa Love was recommended to me by the sommelier at our local grocery store. When I can’t make up my mind it’s my go to. 😊🍷Cheers, Prost, Salud

Smooth, not too sweet. Bold berry flavors, full bodied

For the price point, a surprisingly delicate and complex Pinot noir. Cherry, raspberry, some oak and tannins on the finish. Good for everyday drinking!
