The color is a light and pretty red that one can easily read through. Nose is red berries, cinnamon, and the red apple skins common in Oregon Pinot Noir. Palate texture is buoyant with purple candies, and cold red fruits that appear to be laced with sea salt. Acid is obvious but balanced. Finish is about 2 minutes of salinity. This wine tastes like a purple oyster. Retail: approx $25

Bought this 2010 Kota to cheer on recovery of a great Kiwi friend. Barnyard funk and light but a solid.
