my little sis got me all the Middle Sister wines for my birthday a couple of years back so i wanted to like 'em even tho i wasn't expecting much. i know she got them for me more for the label appeal, but still... lots of red fruit, loads of clove and cinnamon stick. simple and one dimensional, but certainly drinkable.

Not a bad pinot nose - smelled like an over-extracted CA pinot noir, which would have been fine. However. On the palate, the red fruits evaporated within seconds, revealing alcohol and a bitter/chemical-tasting that are unpleasant. My sis-in-law (not as wine-obsessed as I), felt that it wasn't bad, feeling that it was a standard light-drinking "red wine" - however, I'd never buy it again to drink - the label's cute, though!

Great wine ... at first I thought it was going to be sweet but it immediately calmed down and was a great Pinot for the price.
