Consumes October 2018. The first day I had I could not stand it. The second day it was doable, but I will not buy it again. Built by the hand touch of winemakers from select Vineyards to create a wine out of balance and elegance. Sip this Meritage with bold faire and friends, and savor the bright red fruit aromas and vanilla dark spaces with notes of black raspberries and dark chocolate.

Heavy berries on the nose, smooth and soft, very good. Goes to the back of your mouth very quick. No bite. I wish the Mau's would stop leaving their stuff at our house and start leaving a bottle of this wine. Cheers.

First note is pure tobacco, then a bit of purple fruits but pretty thick and a bit out of balance

Meritage, not Pinot Noir.
But very good, especially considering the price point (it was on sale). Super fruity, almost jammy. Dark, chocolaty, and oaky. Super quick, clean finish; comes intensely and goes quickly.
