A pleasant surprise in the under $20 Pinot Noir category. Having tasted both the Grace Benoist and Fiddlestix vineyard offerings from Etude recently and enjoying the latter much more than the former, it didn't surprise me that the blend includes Fiddlestix (along with North Canyon). A strawberry rhubarb pie tossed into a campfire and then doused with salt water.

Consumed 05/20. I purchased this one because the sticker on the shelf either said medium bodied or full-bodied. I don’t think it is either. I consider it light. Had to force myself to drink it and not waste it. Just didn’t care for it at all.

This is a hit! I opened this up at a birthday party, everyone loved it. It went fast! I’m getting more of it.

Ripe strawberries and dried cherries. Not my stylistic preference for Pinot.
