Continuing on with my sub-$20 exploration of grocery store Pinot Noir.
This was in the limited selection bin, meaning it won't be around for long. I had never heard of it, but guessed correctly that it was a product of @Sebastiani Vineyards. Having just written a little missive about enjoying their wines earlier, I thought why not? It's too cold to ship wine so I'm stuck with what I gots unless I get locally.
Against Meiomi, which I presume is its main competitor, this is more translucent in the glass. The strawberry notes dominate a bit more. The tannins are quite fine. Not very complex and not a long finish. Nevertheless, still a pleasant glass.

Not a huge fan of Pinot Noir, but this was pretty good.
