Round and very flavorful. Lots or red berry, soft spice and a slight earthiness. Really enjoyable and well put together.

Drank at Daw Yee Myanmar. Wasn’t crazy about at first, but grew on me as I drank, and paired well with some of the heavier and even lighter dishes.

Smooth cherry with tart notes that build through a fine acid finish. Paraiso’s value pinot is solid and satisfying making it a great party wine or casual sipper.

An excellent value Pinot. Dark cherry nose. Tart strawberry and cherry with smokey notes and a mineral backbone. A medium acid finish. A light to medium bodied Pinot with nice balance and no flaws.

My go to value Pinot - bright cherry and tangy strawberry with spice and a Monterey mineral backbone. Great balance and finishing acid for a wine at this price point.
