NOSE: expressive; perfumed cherry; red apple skin.
BODY: ruby color of light depth, with some lightening at the edges; light bodied.
TASTE: lightly flavored; tart red berries; a bit green; hint of leather/horse on finish, which is medium-short and of light intensity; good acidity; light tannin; 12.5% alc. not noticeable; objectively, not really a very impressive wine, but I did enjoy it for how plainly it spoke of “Pinot Noir” to me. I would make this a mid-week daily drinker if it could be bought for $20 - $25; as it is, however, it’s horribly overpriced at about $50. Gut impression score: low to mid 80’s.

Dinner with Jean/Melanie and Jon Evans (Pollen Street Social): fruity and floral. a bit lightweight but very enjoyable nonetheless.
