Les Hospices Sancerre Pinot Noir
Sancerre, Central Vineyards, Loire Valley, France
VERY affordable. Sancerre lovers (like me and Hemingway) are pretty happy with almost any sancerre. (Very small production area.)
So call this a "C" and try to find some of the B's and the (not-so-affordable) A's.

Very nice. Long finish. Crisp acidity. Costco. $14.99. Worked well with harder pungent sheep cheese and caprese and curried pasta. Would go well with most things due to acidity and citrus notes. Grapefruit overtones. B

We aren't usually Pinot Noir folks but this was a unexpected and welcomed change up from the norm. Some cherry and blackberry with well-balanced tannins considering how light it appeared to be. Pretty decent!

Light bodied and tart, she's a crowd pleaser.

Pale ruby color. Aromas of blackberry, cherry and dried flowers. Ok Pinot for the price ($12 bucks)- nothing spectacular.

Cranberries, sour cherry, gravel and citronella notes. A subtle loaminess. Nice acid.
