Brick red with tawny rim. Strawberry, raspberry, tart cranberry, and hints of forest floor. Light bodied and elegant in style with tart acidity which overpowers the fruit. Clearly past its prime.

I just adore this wine, though I can see where many would not. Sort of tastes like a hypothetical Rioja-style Pinot, with a good mix of black and red fruit, silky texture, lots of acidity, and dusty tannins. This is one of those wines I could probably drink once or twice a week without ever tiring of it. If I had enough bottles to do so, which sadly I do not. Not sure if it will improve from here, though it is possible, and in any event it has plenty of life left so no hurry to drink these.

Cloudy, dusty cherry that fades quickly. High acid, medium tanins. Decent value.

Light and fruity wine that has done well with time. Low priced, nicely valued Pinot.
