I decided to try this instead of my usual (sweet reds & moscato). Decent choice for price.. definitely interested in trying more like this.

Nice light Pinot with a lit bit of acidity and a peppery finish.

This wine is an excellent introductory red for those looking for the lightest of the light at a good price point.
A squeaky clean, delicate expression of Pinot Noir expressing approachable notes of raspberry, beets, and menthol. The wine drinks softly with red cherries and spice with a truly light frame of tannins finishing with notes of tea leaf.

This tastes like sweet grape juice. Doesn't have bold tastes and is pretty dry. Not a big fan of this Pinot.
