Nice fruit forward wine which is a good buy at $13. Well balanced with a smooth medium finish. Red fruit flavors with low acidity. Some alcohol showing but not enough to be distracting. Not complex but still enjoyable for the price.

$15 USD. can be found everywhere. (Total Wine, Grocery store, etc)
Drank after 15 min in the fridge
Appearance:
Semi Translucent. I can see my hands through it, but not enough to read a newspaper probably. No variation at the rim. Medium Ruby, light intensity, short legs
Nose:
Clean on the nose Medium in intensity and alcohol. Very alluring/seductive scent Fruity, red fruits (raspberry, currants) Obviously youthful
Palate:
Very fruit forward
Dry Light body Medium- Acidity Medium Alcohol Medium- Tannin Light/low intensity, Feels very delicate but simple very low tannins. Very smooth Red fruits
Medium Finish.
Conclusion: Very smooth and has a very alluring scent. Perfect to drink now. Will pair well with a light meal such as fish, pasta, chicken I can also see this being a decent budget daily sipper
Day 2+
on day 2 Aroma is more pronounced. feels like a fruit bomb. on the palate feels more tannic than day 1. lot less acidity and alcohol. taste little to no alcohol, and hard to detect any acidity.
on day 3, Aroma is very highly pronounced. full fruit bomb with scents of flowers (feels like roses?)
on the palate, very mild tannins remaining. low- acidity. full red fruits. weak but a lingering finish.

Had with pizza. Liked the pairing, just what I expect from an Oregon Pinot noir. Lots of fruit in the mouth and complimented the pizza well. Would be equally happy drinking this wine without food on a summer's night on the patio That being said, I doubt I would ever order this at a restaurant and pay for the up-charge. Ok at retail and even better on sale but wouldn't pay more for this one

Very good. Minimal legs. Cherry on the nose. Cherry and some dirt on the palate. My only complaint is it seems a bit hot (alcohol) compared to prior experience. Chy rates “Deleicious”

Surprisingly good. Nose has nice fruit and balanced with spice and earthiness. Palate is fresh and balance of fruit and savory, pretty high tannin and fairly medium to long finish. Good complexity for the price

Something funky with this bottle. Off flavor, odd aromas, zero finish - quite unexpected with a screw top. Hoping it was better on day 2. NOT!

Fruity, a little sweet and velvety, not very acidic or tannic. Low complexity, well balanced and medium-long finish. Easy drinker.

Enjoyable, even if not quite great. Fruit forward with a short finish. East to drink, would pair well with a light meal.
