So sad to see this one go. I bought I'll I could afford but didn't buy enough. This was sub $20 but has drank well beyond that. Over the last 5 years, this wine has never disappointed. Still showing nice tart fruit. Cherries, apples and cranberries. The finish is a little bitter as it finishes with a rind element but this balances fine with food. I think this has 80% WC which is crazy. The fruit is still very much at the front but is now starting to show some aged elements. This was my last bottle of a wine that has showed incredible consistency. Should have bought more.

I can't say enough good things about this wine. Incredible value at $20, easily as good as wines twice the price. Just bought a case- this will be my house pinot noir.
