Imagine a softer flavored raspberry with some strawberry mixed in. It’s not a pungent fruit forward Pinot. I don’t get much minerality or earth with it but it is pleasant to drink. I would share this with someone who doesn’t really like red wines an see how they feel afterwards. It’s not heavy at all. Light in tart flavors , med in body. An well made. the nose is also semi soft I gave it 3 1/2 hours of air before trying it. Maybe I should’ve tried it initially instead of so far along. Just to see what it would’ve given me in the beginning.
Day2 Kept in food refrigerator. In current state the wine is a bit colder than most ppl prefer to drink at this temperature. I’m Getting a bit more intensity on the nose than yesterday. Still red fruit smells as well as a tiny smell of Coca Cola. Bigger body and intensity on the palate than the day prior. Showing a bit more alcohol as well. It’s like the wine got turned up a notch in all areas. The finish is long An longer than yesterday but a more tart flavor that sits right on the middle of the tongue. Also getting some pepper spice

This was a gift. This was enjoyed at the table during a casual Tuesday rotisserie chicken dinner. The wine is relatively balanced, but is on the heavier and fuller bodied side for pinot noir, including because of the alcohol level. Not 100% sure that blind, I would even recognize it as pinot noir, though admittedly I do not drink this style often, and so that may be the reason why. Pleasurable, just not good QPR ($80+?) for me given the list price and the style.

Blueberry, strawberry, and earth notes. Juicy acidity.

cherry, strawberries, some funk on the nose. Crunchy acidity. Decent structure. Drink now and the next 5 years.
