Color is light cranberry, with a bit brown and purple note. Clear. Nose of cranberry and blackberry, however fades away quite fast. Taste of similar notes with a twist of sweetness and spice. A bit off balance bittersweetness. Low of nonexistent tannins. Aftertaste is mellow with addition of some subtle acidity,zest, and citrus. Average.

Got from Trader Joe’s for $10. Initial taste was a bit sweet but it dialed down after a few sips. Inexpensive. For $10 it is a good value. Everyday wine. Not good enough for special occasion.

Pleasantly surprised with this simple Pinot for under $10. You can smell the berries up front, and it is light on your palate. Just a touch of a Coca-Cola note at the end.

Maybe not as rich and complex as I might like, but pretty damn good for a $9 pinot noir from TJ's.

Very light, cranberry taste, a little sweet. Not my favorite.
