Mmmmm just a delish bottle of Pinot. Thankfully, not as dark or full bodied as I remember my last bottle being. This had some restraint, but was still pretty richly textured. Gorgeous lighter color, but beautiful perfumes notes of cherry, herbs, and red licorice. Palate is freaking smooth as a babies bottom. Just an enjoyable quaffer.

Not bad. Light bodies, maroon translucency against light. Dried cherries with black pepper. Tannins roll off the tongue. Not bad. Would be great with a balsamic reduction sauce and steak.

Wine of the night, 2016 Fall Wine Tasting. Well, it tied for first and ties go to the Guest! Agree with other raters on this one. Don't let the label fool u, this is a serious wine. Not Kosta serious but damn good.
