Had slightly higher expectations but still decent. Would buy again for the right price.

Cassis liquor on the nose with vanilla notes, baking spices and cola undertones. Medium bodied, light ruby color, lower viscosity.

I like Pinot in general but I can’t say I loved this one. There was just something off, maybe a bit too acidic?
