A surprisingly well balanced pinot for a mass production winery. The mix of spice, pine forest and raspberry that go with a classic pinot ... a little jammyness that keeps this from getting a 90+ rating, but good QPR in my estimation.

Typical Mondavi offering, Tannins tight when first opened. Had nice dark fruit that by day two turned into a wine that I really liked with a little pepper and violet and and softer red berry fruit.
