  I'm grilling a spatchcocked chicken on the charcoal- it's either a white wine or a Pinot. This one is pale garnet in color with almost no legs- indicative of the low 12.5% ABV. Th nose has medium intensity aromas of red cherry, strawberry, straw, perfume, red licorice and wet stone. It's quite complex and certainly interesting. The palate is dry with good acidity and lithe tannins. The red fruit flavors intermingle with some black cherry and hints of oak. The wine has a light to medium body and a decently long finish where the very slight tannins make themselves present. It's a delicious, lighter style of Pinot that is showing very nice primary fruit flavors in a layered manner with good structure. If you prefer a more delicate and seductive Pinot, this one is right up our alley. 91 points from me for this $26 charmer (I paid $33 CAD in Quebec) makes it a 5 star effort. Drink till 2026.

  Nez typé pinot du nouveau monde, avec des notes de confiture de fraise, un peu bonbon. La bouche est fraîche et bien équilibrée, le vin facile à boire, gouleyant. C’est simple mais agréable. À la longue, un petit côté sucré émerge, qui devient lassant, comme souvent dans les pinots américains. Pour le prix, ça reste très correct. 86
