Flat in the mid palate. But if you need to pair an inexpensive burgundy with a plethora of courses, it works. Earthy with substantial raspberry and red cherry notes. The oak is subdued.

Easy going Pinot. Middle of the road to me. Nothing really stands out. It’s dry, not really sweet. No tannins to speak of.

Great value burg. Bright acid and cherry flavor. Missing the earthiness of better burgundy

Soft and fruity, but it takes a little getting used to. Paired well with a sheep's milk cheese.

A very good standard for Pinot Noir. You can pull this out and know exactly what you get.

Slightly lighter red color matches soft fruit on the nose... Raspberries give way to spice and a quick finish with remnants of earth and some heat
