Beautiful color. Dry, with a light body. Fruity and tart.

Decent wine for the prize. Easy to drink. Probably served a bit warm but still had some light fruit coming through.

2017 i really like this one! Has that soft earthy tannin I like in a Pinot with Red meat, cranberries, and a bit of heat (14.5%!). A cab drinkers Pinot.

Very drinkable, food-friendly Pinot Noir. Soft tannins, balanced fruit, and a hint of smokiness.
