Grade: G+. Bit of a lightweight, but not bad value at all for around $12.00 (US). Light, bricky red, slightly smoky, cherry-cola, strawberries and pepper on the nose, palate is somewhat jammy: strawberry jam on toast, but in a good way, cola notes, nicely balanced acidity, sour fruit and black pepper on the finish. This bottle had undergone some secondary fermentation, but it didn't seem to hurt it.
My Grades: EXX-Exceptional, EX-Excellent, VG-Very Good, G-Good, O-Ordinary, P-Poor, U-Ungraded

At first pour this is very vibrant and lively. Calms down with air, not to the point of being dull, just not as exciting. Cola, cherry, pomegranate aromas and flavors. Moderate acidity and a smooth finish.

aroma of cherry and strawberry. light texture with flavors of red fruits, some tabacco notes and earthiness, light tannins, ending with a mouthwatering acidity and a spicy finish. An ok wine.

Suprisingly a bit sweet and weak. I like a beefier pinot.
