Big fruit in the front but ultimately unfocused and boring.

I think others are wrong. This is a nice and smooth Pinot from the Russian River region. Try it and you’ll like it.

I actually got buttery cherry tart on the nose, tastes smooth with cranberry and pomegranate without the acidic/tart components. Very drinkable, paired well with dinner.

Nose reminds me of Skittles. Palate is cranberry juice, raspberries and chocolate. Very much that Meiomi style fruit juice. Nothing like varietally correct Pinot Noir. Vintage 2013.
