Color is a dusty red of medium to light intensity. The nose is earthy with a lot of cherry and spicy strawberry. The flavor leads with a sweet note and then you get a nice earthy lightly tart berry taste. The finish is light and earthy sweetness

Fairly dark for a pinot, especially for one from France. On the nose, this is aromatically challenged. Very light, sweet cherry notes and a touch of Tums-like chalkiness is all you get from the aroma side. On the palate, this starts well. There is good, fresh strawberry flavor and a touch of characteristic cola, with no major flaws save for maybe a touch of bitterness. Unfortunately, this wine pulls a Casper the Friendly Ghost. It is very pleasant, but then it simply disappears. It is just way too simple and light, even though what flavors you get are well-balanced. Not sure on the price point, but at anything over $10, this is a clear pass for me, and I'm not 100% sure even then.

Easy, light, fruity pinot. Not much to it, but good for a cheap everyday pinot.
