Tried this again, still not great, seemed a bit more spicy that previous notes. Medium red with a Berry fruit nose giving off a strong spice. On the palate, cherry and tart strawberry flavors together with tea spice and savory tannins, very thin. A medium finished, not great, pass Tasting Sample.

Light garnet to ruby red. Nose had notes of red cherries, almost candied and flowers. Tart cherries on the palate with low acidity. Light bodied with a dry paper like short finish. Very simple and easy drinking. Nothing off-putting, just simple.

I’m new at choosing wines. I know what I like, that’s a start! Lol. I read a great article this morning that brought me to the Delectable app. Previously i was using Vivino. https://www.buzzfeed.com/hannahloewentheil/how-to-pick-a-good-bottle-of-wine?utm_term=.dhE9yMb5d#.ftW5d4VOa Love was recommended to me by the sommelier at our local grocery store. When I can’t make up my mind it’s my go to. 😊🍷Cheers, Prost, Salud

Smooth, not too sweet. Bold berry flavors, full bodied

For the price point, a surprisingly delicate and complex Pinot noir. Cherry, raspberry, some oak and tannins on the finish. Good for everyday drinking!

Very tasty. Smooth fruit flavor. Dry but not bitter. Love the artwork.

Very simple, not complex, but delicious. Not your fanciest Pinot, but a perfect everyday Pinot. I don't remember what I paid for it but I don't think it was overwhelmingly expensive. I would totally get this again for spicy food or beef.

Nose of black cherry with hints of leather/soil.

Very subtlety sweet up front with the cherry. Darkening up on the swallow with a heavy finish.

Not bad at all for the price of $11 for the 2015.
