This wine has big, heavy fruit and a nice balance. If the under $8 price shown as average here is correct: 1)I got taken, and 2) Its the best Pinot deal I've seen. I judge the wine will improve for 5 or more years. Fruits are still young and the is not a hint of any "oldness" in the wine. It has a nice, medium, dry-tea tannin that is smooth and long on the finish.

We belong to the WSJ Wine Club because they tend to send some drinkable wines at good prices, many of which we cannot get or have never heard of. Sometimes we Get a surprise and this was one of them. Not the greatest Pinot in the world but very drinkable and paired nicely with my wife's beer can chicken, a fresh artichoke and roasted fingerling potatoes very well. Would drink again.

Ripe fruit, soft tannins, with a long, juicy finish. Seems impossible to have such a nice pinot at this price.
