Drank side-by-side with the Castle Rock Mendocino County. Of the two, I actually liked the nose and the fruit on the mid-palate of this one better. (The Meno Cnty was too sweet.) However, the finish was harsh/bitter which I did not like at all. Yes, this wine is cheap but it still is not worth it to me. My wife liked this one just fine (and preferred it to the Mendo Cnty.)

Fairly generic and industrial. No real flaws, just very simple. It seems as perhaps there was an attempt to extract more than the fruit could resonably give, as there was slight harshness about it. At least it offered some true "pinot" flavors.

had the Pinot Flavors, a bit dirty and harsh but not bad for a cheep wine
