Deep Ruby color with aromas of red fruits, floral notes and spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and jammy strawberry with floral, tea and spice. Firm tannins, medium finish ending with fruit, spice and an earthy spice character. Drink now, no aging benefit.

New World: 1 point.
Not decanted: 1 point.
Gold on bottle: 1 point.
Unique label: 1 point
Synthetic cork: 2 points.

2018. Inexpensive. And nearly a nonexistent hole in the bottom.

This would accumulate a lot of points for Shampions League... but it definitely wouldn’t win for better bottle.

Since 1854 the Mirassou family has been making wine and now in its 6th generation. Mirassou became one of the first pioneers to introduce the Pinot Noir grape to CA. Tons of fruit aromas, with strawberry and cherry flavors with notes of oak and sweet spice on the palate. Good balance, fruit forward style, easy drinking, medium finish. Good value. Tasting Sample.

I found this gem in a shopping cart at my local grocer. Taken off the wine shelf and discounted for a quick sale.

Dark ruby in color, tastes of cherry, and perhaps a little strawberry.

Mild tannins, with a short finish. After a few sips a slight taste of oak becomes evident.

This is a nice everyday drinker that will pair well with a beef entree.

Ruby in color with medium intensity and a reddish rim.

Fruity nose of plums, currants, oak, light vanilla, spices, vegetables, barnyard, cloves, herbs, spices and black pepper.

Medium bodied with medium acidity and nice legs.

Fruity on the palate with cherries, plums, blueberries, oak, vegetables, coffee, spices and black pepper.

Medium minus on the finish with soft tannins and tangy strawberries.

This is a simple Pinot Noir from California. Easy drinking and better when chilled. Drinking like a juice and unbalanced.

Not for me but, many at the party liked it.

13.9% alcohol by volume.

83 points.

$10.

Smooth and easy drinking, this wine is full of bright strawberry fruit and mercifully light on oak. While it complemented turkey/zucchini lasagne with asparagus nicely, it would also make a nice warm weather cocktail wine.

Soft and lovely. Red berry notes. Hint of oak vanilla. Pairing with a grilled pork tenderloin. Perfect compliment with a smoky grill char. After it opens up, oak comes through
