Definitely a third bottle for the night. Fruity. Soft. Not much structure beyond the up front.

A pleasant surprise!
So, I went in on the LastBottle mystery 6 pack of reds. The first was the Pinot I posted the other week. I elected to open this which seemed vaguely familiar. Once I looked it up, it became evident why.
Moderate deep purple in the glass with longish legs. Baking spice and sweet oak on the nose. Almost like drinking blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream. Clearly this was slightly over oaked. It wasn't terribly complex but for the price at around $20, I was still fairly impressed.
I went to look this up and turns out that this is the big brother to the Edge brand of wine. Hence the familiarity with the label. Lots of folks commented that it wasn't bad for $15-20.
I check wine searcher. No 2012! Just 2011 and earlier at $15 price point. Then 2013 at $50?! 😱 I saw Parker gave the 2013 a 90-92, but unless I missed something, that seems egregious.
As least the LastBottle mystery case is 2/2!
