Unfortunately a one-dimensional CA #pinotnoir . Rather blank on the nose, medium light frame lacking concentration or interest showing only baseline varietal character in the mouth. I do credit the minimal oak intervention but the Parducci Small Lot Mendocino County Pinot at Costco is a much better 2018 at a similar under $9 price point.

A really nice everyday Pinot (Costco $10) that has mild fruit, plum and violet. 2018 is very smooth from start to finish. Great by itself (cool and let warm and open) and will not overpower food. Will go back for more. May 202
