Not a typical California Pinot Noir. Light, almost see through in color, but almost screaming acid to wake up the food. Not for everyone but I liked it.

Nice light style Pinot Noir. Fruity and light and best well chilled. Good with pizza and casual food like wings, nachos, etc. lovely fruit. Good under $35 value.
