Dark cherry on the nose blew off quickly. Hot, spicy mouth feel.

jUst picked this up at Trader Joes. I'm often excited by some of the bargains I find. However, this is horrible. Cassis, lacking structure, over done...gross. I'm sad that I have a full bottle. This, friends, is no bargain.

Started off good, but man did it fade fast. Good fruit and spiced quickly turned into brown sugar and copper pennies. No bueno.

This is an earthy and enjoyable pinot noir that I think has been underrated here. Or maybe the 2019 vintage is just better than in the past. Not elegant but decent value.

A TJoes purchase in a moment of desperation during an April blizzard. Points for the label.

Not bad for under 10 dollars but a very light Pinot, smooth finish.
