Not as good as the last bottle. I picked up a bit of astringency or something that made it taste just a touch off. It’s still a good bottle to keep around, especially for only $10. I couldn't imagine other grocery-store Pinots at the $10 price point being as good.

This was a nice Pinot, and a good choice when you're looking for a lighter wine for lighter meals. I probably wouldn't choose this to serve to guests, but it was worth the $10 for a mid-week dinner wine. I enjoyed the 2010 a bit more, but it also had more cellar time than this 2012. It is certainly better than most other California Pinots at this price point.

Light raspberry jam notes with some light tannin. Texture is not as smooth as I would have expected. Well balanced overall with some complexity.
