Love this one! Needs to breathe for the acidity to drop, but is wonderful once it does.

Pale ruby in color.

Fruity on the nose with blackberries, blueberries and spices.

Light bodied and fruity on the palate, with strawberries, cherries, blackberries and black pepper.

Short finish with soft tannins.

Nice drinking Pinot Noir from California.

Great value Pinot! Think I prefer the Cabernet, which isn't usually the case. Still a very decent bottle.
