Clear, pale ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with medium intensity primary and secondary aromas of cherries, cloves, and dried leaves; on the palate, it's dry with medium acidity, low tannins, high alcohol, medium minus body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of hibiscus, strawberry jolly ranchers, and tar with a long finish. This wine is complex and intense, but a little hot and bitter. Overall, I rate this wine as good.

Tasted along side the Kirkland Napa Pinot Noir. Similar on the palate—dark concentrated fruit. However, this one had a cardboardy nose instead of the Napa plasticy finish.

Pale ruby in color; cherries, raspberries, and dried leaves on the nose; medium plus acidity; medium tannins; tastes like hibiscus, tart cherries, strawbergʻries, and clay pots with a long finish. Nellie doesn't like it, but I do.

Certainly drinkable, but I found the 2022 to be thin and without much character compared to prior years. Bummer! I used to be a big fan.
