Rusty color. Bit of lotion and floral on the nose. Flavor is tart, but it tastes nice. Plenty, plenty tannins. A lot of action for cheap CA Pinot Noir.

Firs Pinot, very bright, floral and light to drink. Would be a strong candidate for a nice summer wine or sangria base.

You need to let it breathe for longer than the usual red wine. Once you've let it sit for a while it does taste smooth and fruity. Overall a basic Pinot noir. Not particularly impressive.
