  PnP through the vinturi In the glass: dark garnet, turning a bit red/brown compared to the last bottle, decent legs. On the nose: Strong hit of grapefruit & citrus, bright tart cherries, tiny bit of spice. In the mouth: light/thin mouth feel, sweet tart cherries on the tongue, cinnamon stick, tiny bitter, light finish. Not a usual pinot, especially with the citrus nose, but one of my favorite light everyday drinkers. Especially nice for the price. Still drinking well.

  Pop and Pour through the Vinturi. In the glass: Thin, light ruby, clear. On the nose: A bit closed to start, (a bit metallic). Opened up nicely after a couple glasses to light scents of grapefruit & citrus, delicate red fruit & light spice. In the mouth: light mouth feel, good acid, light tannins, sweet cherries on the tongue, No real finish, but balanced for what it was, light, light light! This is a nice wine for a summer afternoon, but still VERY quaff-able. A good value at a retail of $15, bought another half case!

  About the 4th bottle we've had so far. Pop and Pour. In the glass: Thin, light ruby, clear. On the nose: Light scents of grapefruit & citrus, delicate red fruit & light spice. In the mouth: light mouth feel, light tannins, No real finish, but balanced for what it was, light, light light! This would be a nice wine for a summer afternoon, but still VERY quaff-able. Need to buy more as its disappearing quickly. A good value at a retail of $15
