  Bought this wine at a local shop after sharing 2 bottles (of other selections) with a friend.
  At the time it seemed like a good value at $13 per bottle, but:
  1) I think that I may have been purchasing "in the moment"
  2) I have since found the bottle for $7.50
  
  So, I'd use this wine as an intro to Reds for the White drinker...much as I use Cono Sur Pinot Noir (Chile).
  Drinking on a fresh palatte I was less than impressed, but still think it's a decent effort Pinot at the price point....particularly the $7.50 price point.
  
  For those looking for nuance, I'd say there's little to none..but not in a bold, in-your-face, fruit-forward way. More so, it's a watered down fruit punch (although that is admittedly very extereme).
  
  Wine is different for everyone, and I can easily see how this could be enjoyed by many. And, again, if you have a friend that ONLY drinks white wine, this is what you give them as an introduction to Reds.
  For those looking for a really good drink at a reasonable price point (and a Pinot), try Domaine Carneros' offering. Should be around the low-$20s and was my "go-to" offering until the local shop stopped carrying it.

  You have to respect this for what it is. A very well made, if not too complex, fruit forward, easy drinking Pinot Noir. Has that soft fruit from berries whose skins were not broken, or maybe even whole cluster fermented. This one may have a little more structure than other Pinot's at this price point. Might be the vintage, might be the wine making. Pretty dark for a Pinot. Blackberry nose. Subtle but substantial blackberry fruit. Just enough acid for an 86 score. Even a touch of tannin. The alcohol is well integrated. A simple, but fruit driven finish.
