  어두운 곳에서 마셔서 색은 분별안됨. 베리류 향이긴한데..블루인지 레드인지 애매하게 느껴짐.우드향하고 담배 향이 느껴짐!
  맛은 분위기가 살려줌..

  # 395 highly rated Pinot (90points) at incredible price. $13.99 at Costco. So smooth it’s bland.

  Very dark shade of ruby red with medium plus to high optical density and very fine, high specular reflectivity. The aromas are medium in intensity and provide a pretty but simple appeal, with sour cherry, rose pedal, light savoury bacon, and an ethereal note of cordite on the back end. The palate shows medium acidity, medium body, and lithe tannins, for a texture that isn't quite sappy, but shows a rich and rounded presence. Dry and with some decent density, this is toward the heavier side of Pinot Noir, but still maintains the variety and is not overdone. Flavours of rich cherry and sweet raspberry on the attack, with some support from some darker berries and light wet stone. Not layered much, pretty much just gives sweet fruits that carry into the midpalate, where some light spices and darker cherry appears. Pretty simple overall, but what is there is lovely. Finishes with some light roasted bacon fat and roses, with nice length. Overall, medium in complexity and high in intensity.
  
  This is a really nice value-driven Pinot Noir. Definitely outshines a lot of New World Point Noir that cost double or even triple. Not much depth of flavour layering or interest beyond the simple and vivid fruit, but there is elegance in the simplicity here. Basically, there is nothing to dislike here, it hits all of the varietal notes and alludes to a carefully tended vineyard and tasteful winemaking. Easy to drink and well-balanced, this punches way above its price point and expectation. Really an awesome wine!
