Review

A very approachable Pinot Noir, with a fruity nose of cherry, plum, raspberry, vanilla, and sweet spice. Its got a nice, bright acidity that carries smooth red berry and plum flavors. Certainly not a complex wine, but in its price range, it a solid everyday value. Enjoy it with grilled chicken or lamb.
