Served slightly-chilled (17c/62f, 14.8% abv) perhaps a little too chilled, with Coq au Vin.
Ruby Red in the glass. Cherries, & Blackberry on the nose, palate of light red fruit. Light-bodied, Not too tannic. Good with lighter dishes like chicken. Medium finish. Slight metallic finish at end. Well-crafted but unexceptional Pinot Noir from CA Central Coast. I think there are some better Pinot Noirs, (albeit a little more expensive) from CA Sta Rita Hills or Oregon's Willamette Valley.

This wine is drinkable and not unpleasant, but it's not particularly interesting or showing a lot of varietal character. Bought at Costco for $10.99, there are better PN at Trader Joe's under $10.

Mill Pond Family Reunion: This bottle tasted a bit more jammy than the other I remember, but still a decent Pinot in this price range (which is rare). My aunt had found this on clearance for $9, so that is the rare sub-$10 Pinot that is worthy of consuming.

In the beginning, aromas of cherry and promegranete, spices, vanilla and oak. Medium body and short final. After dinner, I've tried to drink a bit more but it was impossible cause the Wine is a little bit sweet and I got nauseous more and more at each gulp. I stopped at the third gulp.
