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.

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

These flavors have more bounce than a ride in the backseat of a 1992 Crown Victoria.

I know what you're thinking, "box wine, really Jay?" Well first of all I bought this to cook with - four bottles of wine for around $15 that stays fresh for a month after opening. Perfect. But of course I had to try it and you know what? It's actually a half way decent Pinot. Cherries and spice with vanilla and a touch of green herbaceousness - in the end one bottle went into cooking and I drank the rest. And I'd do it again!
