Really nice wine. Would’ve never guessed Pinot, but nevertheless.

Pale garnet, low acid and tannins. Smell of ripe red fruit. Fresh, ripe strawberry, tart, some mineral tasting on the palate.

Very soft. Would have guessed merlot. Lots of fruit with not much backbone.

This was excellent on day one. It it was just a semi-sweet liquid the next day and the day after. We hardly every finish a bottle in a day. Most wine that we get lasts a few days without losing much nose or palate. Except this Pinot Noir. This one is not for us.
