A bit rough at first it softens some with some air. Some indistinct fruit notes arise then but it is nevertheless never going to rise above mediocrity.

This is one of my Trader Joe's go-to wines. A good value at $10/bottle. I tend to prefer a pinot noir that drinks more like a burgundy- medium body, leaner, more subdued fruit, with interesting minerally overtones. Those tend to be at much higher price points. This wine reminds me a bit of that burgundy style. Though the mineral content is light, the fruit does not overwhelm. I last enjoyed this wine with grilled marinated pork loin, and the pairing was pleasant. I recommend chilling it a little more than normal, like mid-fifties degrees F.

Pretty tasty pinot for $10, sometimes you go to traders and want to pick up a good, everyday wine on a budget and this totally fits the bill. Good fruit, nice balance and finish.
