Translucent cherry glass with clear rim,. Balance shifted to the medium nose of vanilla, cherry, oak, cinnamon, tobacco and crayon box. Medium acid hit to the palate of dry sour cherry and raspberry. Finish is medium short with tiny tannins and sour cherry predominance. Fair value at $13.95 USD but lack of depth and fruit flavor make this thinner Pinot more of an everyday light dish friend.

A sphere of infinite smoothness hovers in place in a room of intense purple; the room is only accessed through a secret door that is never behind the same bookcase twice.

Oct 6th, 2016Good aroma and taste which is not so strong plum sour flavor. For that, serving temperature is important. Don't be higher. Should be <18. This is a point deferent from another label, NZ Pinot Noir. @1050, TBreeze, 180717 - 180720

Didn’t enjoy this as much the second time around, tart fruits again but very watery and a funky musty finish.

Translucent ruby red, black cherry, bit of leather and spice. Fine and smooth, full of flavor.

Tasty and decently inexpensive. Good balance of flavor and pairs well with most meats!

acidity and lightness were balanced, which was quite appetizing.
