Wayy better than Expected. Tastes like Pinot. Insane value at Costco. Could be the good vintage I think.

Very light. Kinda bland. Not a whole lot going on here.

Taste blackberries. Some fruit forward. Somewhat dry for a pinot.

Did not like. Konner couldn’t even drink it... which tells you something.

Tart. Berries and jam. The longer it sits the more it opens with tobacco and spice. Not bad at all.

Monterey County! That is pretty specific and high class for an under $10 Pinot. Color is good. Ruby red. Smells like cranberry and gravel. Maybe some cooked cherry thing. Flavor is smooth and pretty classic CA Pinot. Light cherry/berry to go with a hint of toasty, herby-ness. Label says ‘baking spice’, that sounds about right. I’ve had CA Central Coast Pinot Noir for twice the price that wasn’t as likable and elegant as this.

Loved it but unfortunately am allergic as I am to some wines. No rhyme or reason. Don’t let it stop you from enjoying! I Use this app to keep track for myself
