Top Notes For

This is a nice and easy drinking Pinot Noir from Mendocino County in California.

Nose of cherries, blueberries, spices, light earth and black pepper.

Medium plus in body and fruit forward with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, currants, sweet strawberries, raspberries, spices and light chocolates.

Nice and good right out of the bottle with a screw top.

Alcohol is nicely integrated and over 14%, so watch out as it is dangerously easy drinking. 😉

Aged in French oak barrels for 8 months.

I had it with cheeses and light appetizers by the lake.

14.2% alcohol by volume.

88 points.

$16.

Liked it at the tasting $17.99 prefer less expensive for the taste. Black pepper spice and acidic. Notes of cherry.

I like this one. It’s smooth. Has a late peppery taste. Will buy again.

匂いは酸味感じるけど飲むとキャンディみたいな雰囲気。飲みやすい。色は濃い目。

Classic Mendocino Pinot Noir—very drinkable and smooth, slightly peppery, not too sweet

Sweetish, dryish-medium. Light in a nice way. Vegan. Not too complex, but not in a bad way, not flat. Fruity. Versatile.
