  deep garnet color, flinty nose with black cherry, game on the palate. Full bodied and high in tannins for pinot, but an excellent expression of the varietal in languedoc

  A huge surprise. I think I paid $12 bucks for this. Crazy quality for the price-point.
  
  On the nose, there is an acidic tension. Fresh rhubarb and a touch of citrus fruits. Smooth and round in the mouth, with raspberries and red currants. Nice textured finish. Very impressive.

  I do not have a lot of experience with wines from the Languedoc, particularly Pinots from the region, so I was excited to give this one a whirl. Really big dark berry fruit with bits of mocha and anise on the nose. The fruit persists on the palate, with a rich, thick mouthfeel. There is a little bit of heat on the finish. For me, it is very difficult to make a descent Pinot in this price point. Certainly an agreeable wine and for $9? A bit of a no brainer for an every day kind of wine. Good to Very Good. thedrunkencyclist.com
