A darker coloured crimson (darker than most pinots), relatively pale. Low-med intensity on nose with hints of raspberries, cherries, slight tobacco and spice. Light-bodied, soft acid and strongish tannins (for a pinot). However a short finish despite its reasonably good complexity (tastes as per the smells). Wonderfully well-balanced drinking wine.

Very nice medium bodied Pinot. Sour cherry and currant predominates, but without the earthiness (dirt) of a French burgundy. Easy drinking.

Light bodied, earthy cherries, smooth tannins. Not a fruit bomb. Decent acidity. Food friendly. Not terrible for the price.

Light, simple pinot noir. Fine for what it is, but not going to wow anyone.

-- cracked and poured --
-- tasted non-blind --
NOSE: fresh sea breeze; brambly with some non-descript red fruits
BODY: clear; mahogany color of light depth; medium-light bodied.
TASTE: tart cherries; hole at back of mid-palate; pretty straightforward; medium length finish. Pretty good for how cheap it is.
B: 50, 5, 11, 15, 6 = 87
