Color is a dusty red of medium to light intensity. The nose is earthy with a lot of cherry and spicy strawberry. The flavor leads with a sweet note and then you get a nice earthy lightly tart berry taste. The finish is light and earthy sweetness

Fairly dark for a pinot, especially for one from France. On the nose, this is aromatically challenged. Very light, sweet cherry notes and a touch of Tums-like chalkiness is all you get from the aroma side. On the palate, this starts well. There is good, fresh strawberry flavor and a touch of characteristic cola, with no major flaws save for maybe a touch of bitterness. Unfortunately, this wine pulls a Casper the Friendly Ghost. It is very pleasant, but then it simply disappears. It is just way too simple and light, even though what flavors you get are well-balanced. Not sure on the price point, but at anything over $10, this is a clear pass for me, and I'm not 100% sure even then.

Ruby appearance. Decanted, went well with escoviched and hammed tilapia. More field than forest for a pinot noir, mild fruit, spice, and green. Not memorable. Nice with milk chocolate covered pretzels, though not with the dark chocolate covered--zinfandel worked well with those.

Yellow cherry and strawberry over hints of rose petal. Strawberry upfront, with some cherry and candied rose petal on the moderately-long finish. Not much acidity, a little bland even. Very nice but nothing special. 12%

Easy, light, fruity pinot. Not much to it, but good for a cheap everyday pinot.

I'm still liking this well-balanced understated Pinot. Very nice at this price-point.

Excellent PN, typical red berry and black fruit, good structure and balance. Short finish.
