Lovely Body, mid weight, probably too heavy for Turkey day but such flavor!

I fell in love with this supple soft-bodied Pinot a few years ago. It has a great nose of Pinot and a lasting and constant flavor throughout. Soft dark cherries and half way between new and old world this wine is great to me. Drinking it while eating delicious chicken pot pie...I am in heaven. Trust me that this pairing will make you want to have it over and over again.

Rich and more complex then expected. Very fruity. (Drinking a day after opening - it has melted some) can really detect the alcohol, but not overpowering.

Fruity and full body for a Pinot. Smooth finish with hints of red berries and chocolate.

First bottle with FirstLeaf.. Enjoyable middle-of-the-line Pinot. Darker to my palate than jammy.. As it breathes you can taste the higher alcohol content and red fruits/currents.
