Retail $28. I paid $17 from Wines Til Sold Out back in 2015 and this is the third bottle that I have cracked. My brief assessment? A perfectly fine Central Coast Pinot and probably fairly priced at $28. Therefore, as with many wines I have purchased from WTSO, at $17, this is a fairly good bargain. Light to medium color with plenty of cherry to go around, it comes off as a tad sweet with all of that fruit, in fact. But there is also considerable tartness and a touch of earth even. As I said, no world beater, but for under twenty bucks? Certainly solid.
Tawny brownish cherry color reflecting ageing. complex Aroma of some fruit and earth. Tastels like a typical Pinot noir with silky smooth tannins and a taste of tart cherry and strawberry with earthy tones and a medium finish. Can sip by itself or with food. Pleasantly suprised as felt it may have lost its fruit as dates here said '14 to '16 and had a cork. 92-94 no less.

I bought these from WTSO almost four years ago now, and this is the second that I popped: Good cherry fruit, nice acidity, above average finish. This is not a Pinot that will cause you to ponder the meaning of life and have you question whether you have wasted your time on this planet thus far. But it will brighten up your Wednesday. thedrunkencyclist.com

Good Pinot Noir that goes well with Brie. Smooth tannins and a medium to full body with a medium finish. Aim to finish in the next couple.
