Big Top Closeout Deal Wines; 11/22/2018-2/24/2019 (Minneapolis/ St. Paul MN): Day 3 Review: Decant Pinot with spice, scorched earth, floral and ripe strawberries. Does have some Pinot Noir character and is not the sweet stuff produced by Meiomi. Based on my rating system it is a decant QPR wine. Recommendation: Drink now. $6.99 on closeout.

Dark red with an inviting nose of black cherry and pomegranate. The sip starts well with a smooth texture, bright acidity, and decent concentration, but then skids into a disagreeable and astringent cherry pit bitterness around the swallow, which a juicy saliva very slowly dissolves, tapering off into a thin and fruitless finish.

Dark cherry, cranberry, mushroom, forest floor. Not sure what the others have been drinking. This is a decent moderately priced pinot.

Aroma of Bright red fruits, with a hint of flower pedals. Tastes tart with a hint of cranberry.
