An okay Pinot. Light tasting, paired nicely with chicken, not so much dark chocolate, hints of vanilla.

Deep Ruby color with aromas of red fruits, floral notes and spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and jammy strawberry with floral, tea and spice. Firm tannins, medium finish ending with fruit, spice and an earthy spice character. Drink now, no aging benefit.

Total Wine rated this as their #1 best buy of 2023, so I thought I couldn't go wrong. It's hard to analyze any other aspect of this wine besides its overwhelming syrupy sweetness. It just overpowered everything in the bottle. You wouldn't want to see the awkward look on my face when I took the first sip. I poured the majority of the bottle down the drain. Just awful. Who are they marketing this stuff to anyways?

Meh fruitiness a bit strong and it’s a bit medicinal with a short thin finish

Dark ruby and color with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose with blackberries, blueberries, light wood, vanilla, alcohol, sweet cooked cherries, raisins, red candy and spices.

Dry to off dry on the palate with blackberries, cooked cherries, spices, vanilla, smoke and licorice.

Medium finish with soft tannins.

This California Pinot Noir is simple, and a little sweet for my taste.

Easy drinking and good for parties.

Reminds me of Meomi Pinot noir.

Doesn't show like a Pinot noir. Not my style, but others liked it.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

86 points.

$16.

Total Wine purchase. Very medicinal tasting. Metal taste after the first sip. I won’t buy again.
