13.5% abv. Picked this up at the local grocer. Very fragrant on the sniff test, taste of cherry and light oak, with a smooth finish. The best part is it was on sale for $6.99. You can't beat that with a stick. Enjoyable value wine.

Not my favorite pinot at this price point, but it's certainly not something I regret purchasing. I thoroughly enjoy the balance of oak and fruit that are fairly standard in California Burgundy blends

Love Pinot noir, bit more dry/tannin than I'm used to, but still fruity and fresh/crisp. Good with spicy chicken. Not sure what else. Just overall good.

Wine tastes flat. No real flavor to it. $7.99 @ HyVee

Might be too dry for some but I loved it.

If this is the original, I want an imitation.
