  This is currently (as was the 2021 previously) the house red at my club (the Foreign Correspondents' Club in HK) and it's a very quaffable wine, particularly for the price (I believe the club buys these wholesale for less than US$9).
  
  The nose is firm pinot fruit with a clear overtone of slatey minerality. And these follow to the palate, which is quite well balanced, not as acidic as some cheaper pinots, and still with that minerality, particularly on the slightly drying and rather long finish.
  
  Overall, as a wine on its own or for a casual meal with a pizza or other straightforward food this is a decent value choice. I'm happy to have a glass or two at the club from time to time.
