It's a Pinot I could work with. Not a fave. Not sure I would buy again. You know what. I would pass but don't want to make it out to be bad but it's just ok.

Full of earth and black cherry. Smooth and silky. Impressed it was available at a restaurant so scooped it up. Only 2x markup so can't complain about that either.

Heavier Pinot Noir with peppery accents. Needs to breathe a bit and is worth the wait 👍🏼
