Wasn't expecting much from this, but quite nice for a CA-appellation Pinot. Some nice spiced cranberry relish vibes, with juicy cherries, some cola, tobacco. Ripe, plus, medium acidity. A crushable office party kind of wine, but pretty solid for the price.

Definitely somewhat heat stressed. Color has a touch of maroon/brown to it, and the flavors are a bit stewed and sour. I must say, it's still good though. Not great, but good enough. I bought two bottles from Trader Joe's a month ago. I am hoping the other is in better shape, but for $9, if it's like this one, I can't complain too much. Still perfectly drinkable. I should note we had an incredibly hot summer here in SoCal, and, assuredly, heat waves were breaking records while these bottles were in transit then in store rooms before being stocked on the shelves.

As opposed to the last one I opened, this bottle is in fine fettle and resembles the first few I've had.
