A sad, cynical exercise in wine made in a facility for hire with nobody giving a shit at all about it. Boo. A disjointed mess.

Color is decent. Smells alright. A hint of caramel or baked goods. Flavors are okay and sorta of on point of CA Pinot.

Was a good Grocery Outlet find. Will buy again. Can’t remember much of the flavor other than drinkable.

While the 2020 vintage looks to be considerably better than previous reviewers - still looking at a budget wine made in a crowd-please style that falls short on quality. Noticeable spice and smoke notes lurk behind jammy bramble fruit on the nose. Taste confirms a heavy hand with new oak. Texture is pleasing but the near-profane oak and unbalanced RS suggest a more cynical, less-serious effort for a #napa #pinotnoir .

Very drinkable sturdy wine. Not to dry with some nice fruit notes. Good price at Grocery Outlet

Great wine very fruity. Raspberry, milk chocolate notes with a bacon finish- seriously.
I will definitely keep this in the cellar.
