Fine for $15. Would be good by the pool.

Good bramble and cherry attack, turns tart tannin, stony undertones. French Pinot that's $10 and is #dailytable approved.

Mild mild berries upfront with a medium tart dry cranberry finish. From the Loire valley.

Pinot from France tastes different than Pinot from California. Almost tastes more dry/bitter. Smooth wine, but spices really dominate the taste. Don’t love or hate this wine.

Pretty, pretty not good. It's definitely red. With strong hints of acid reflux. Pairs well with cheesecake and popcorn.

Very easy but not thin. Dark berry up front with a cigar finish. Bold for a pinot noir.
