May 17, 2023 - Very very meh. Nothing bad but certainly nothing great. Probably slightly overpriced at mid $20 range
January 25, 2023 - Medium body. Strawberry and cherry flavors. Nice everyday Pinot Noir. Good value.
October 10, 2022 - Not a whole heck of a lot going on here, but it’s wholly acceptable for the price. Fruity aromas with just a hint of pleasant, damp earth. A delicate body with some pleasing tannic draw, but fairly one note with simple red fruits that carry on into the finish. This is really a winner in the value segment when you consider the other cynically-produced, mass market, beverage industry wines that are out there at a similar price. I would recommend this to my novice wine friends or acquaintances who just want a nice bottle for quiet dinner at home.
Edit: Whoa… I forgot about this in the fridge for three days. When I reopened it, I expected it to be trashed, but it’s actually much, much better. 88+

Solid wine and very high QPR

February 24, 2021 - Lighter and more floral than California PN.
February 19, 2021 - Nice finish, cherry and vanilla. Well balanced, medium body.
January 11, 2021 - Bright aroma of craneberry and redcurrant juice with star anise, licorice and cinnamon. The nose echoed in the palate with taut and drying acidity of a craneberry juice and some toasted sweet spices . Simple and clean in the mouth. Not much of elegance to speak of. Transitions is reasonably smooth to finish which is still somewhat grainy but deep. Keep for a few more years for the tannins to smoothen.
