A nice Pinot noir for a box wine. I like that it has four bottles in one box and that the noir isn't too dry.

Tart cherry and raspberry, nothing special, drinkable.

Cherry, raspberry, cranberry, vanilla and oak. Great structure and soft tannins.

Pale ruby in color; vanilla, plums, and cherry on the nose; medium acidity; mild tannins; tastes like black cherries, plums, and a hint of chocolate. Doesn't taste like a pinot noir to me, but it's pretty good.

I normally do not have wine on my work weekend but decided I needed A Glass! In my area I have noticed two stores that tend to leave wine on the shelf (Walgreens) for a considerable length of time! Now the yellow- brown tinged New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc...I would not touch!
But for a quick glass while I am washing my scrubs; this boxed 2017 Pinot
Has evolved quite nicely and is really decent!..for what it is!

Drinkable. For the price, not bad
