Monterey County! That is pretty specific and high class for an under $10 Pinot. Color is good. Ruby red. Smells like cranberry and gravel. Maybe some cooked cherry thing. Flavor is smooth and pretty classic CA Pinot. Light cherry/berry to go with a hint of toasty, herby-ness. Label says ‘baking spice’, that sounds about right. I’ve had CA Central Coast Pinot Noir for twice the price that wasn’t as likable and elegant as this.
