  Far better than serviceable, especially for the price. As noted, not particularly complex, but most definitely a PN through and through.

  This is a lighter than medium bodied, fairly light in color Pinot Noir that still delivers in the flavor department. Though not very intense or concentrated, we smell and taste some real Pinot stuff. The color is light magenta. I get bing cherry and violets on the nose. The fruit hits quick with black cherry and red raspberry with some vanilla but disappears pretty quick. There are some light secondary flavors possibly from retoasted barrels or heads like charcoal with tree root sap. Somewhat spicy. Not all that oaky. Some pretty prominent tannins. The finish leaves a nice strawberry red raspberry taste on the roof of the mouth.

  This is a pretty drinkable wine, but I could not get over this little sour element. Decent strawberry, but not very complex.
