This isn’t an awful wine. It doesn’t taste like PN at all. It’s Lodi PN, so it’s big and cola-like. There’s also 10% Petit Verdot, so there’s really no Pinot Noir varietal flavors at all to it. I don’t really know who would have use for this wine. Apothic drinkers, probably.

A really solid Pinot noir for the price. Heavy oak presence but integrated. Creme brûlée and acid, berry and red fruit. Balanced and well made, especially for Cali PN.

Solid everyday Pinot. Bright, fruity and smooth, with caramel endnotes. Great value.

2016 on 1/15/18. Nice pleasant fruit forward Pinot for the price. Not complex, no long finish, but for the price very nice.
