Light bodied, garnet red but very clear, almost verging on pale. Cherry and raspberry on the nose, with a hint of oaky vanilla character. On the palate, a cherry Jolly Rancher note, with more earthy elements, some white pepper and more oaky notes. Acidity on the mid-palate keeps it light, but a little too light and thin, no real mid-range impact. Decent finish. Overall, not a bad experience but nothing to write home about. There are more exciting Pinots out there at better price points.
