Light and fruity on the nose, palette and finish are soft, pleasant but simple.

Very subtle hints of fruitiness. Not acidic and smooth on the palette.

A good wet texture, it dries a bit into an almost leathery aftertaste. A rustic wine unsweetened cherry taste is enjoyable. Id drink it again!

Way too much bite for a pinot noir. Alcohol finishes long like hard alcohol and over powers many of the fruit notes.

Cherry pie, vanilla, a bit cloying. Pinot-flavored Kool-aid. Would rate lower but went ok with duck breast. No depth.
