Drank at Hunt Camp Legacy. Friday night with dinner. Good peppery, smooth wine. Good deal at ~$13.99.

2013 vintage, Tortoise Creek "Les Oliviers" Pays d'Oc Pinot Noir. Thin and tart, with notes of cherry, raspberry, and a little spice. Breathing an hour didn't smooth it out much.

Less acidic in a big Shiraz glass where the cherries come through strongly. In a smaller Riesling glass it has somewhat more integrated aromas but less cherry.
