The AV appellation is one of our favorite AVA's. This one is a bit unusual for an AV due to its light body. Cherry color with nose to match. A bit cloudy, indicating little filtering, which is a plus to us. Cherry, pomegranate and strawberry flavors with moderate tannins. A very pleasant easy drinking wine.

Very pale crimson in color, this wine shows Asian spices, plum, pomegranate and cigar box on the nose. The mouth feel was lighter bodied with more spice and touches of toast and violets. The finish was well balanced with the spice, fruit and acidity well integrated. 13.6% abv.
Purchased for $25US, this is a decent offering but not the best qpr. It is very lean in terms of depth, color and mouth feel.

Very nice pinot on it's own and even paired well with Mexican !?!?
Not nearly as big as some other AV Pinots I've had, very approachable.
