Isolated in the basement with Covid, so I thought I’d crack into this and pour it into a glass. Well, wouldn’t ya know - tastes a bit better in a can?! There are some ok aromatics here, but why other when you can drop it into aluminum and be done? They’re unrecognizable anyway, just muddled ripe fruit. Tastes of cherries and moss, but not earth shattering. Thanks for entertaining me in my boredom.

Cola, cherries, spice. A pretty basic Pinot, but is a classic Oregon Pinot Noir. Which says a lot since its $6.99 per 375ml can.

No glass at the pool! The whites seem to adapt better to the can. I forgot I was drinking wine. Spiked ocean spray cranberry juice. ... I liked it and will do it again!

Very simple, but very drinkable! Ripe red berry fruit, a touch of earth. Decently acidic, little to no tannin. Light bodied. I won’t hesitate to bring this to a casual picnic or house party if the need arises.

Bright with lots of red fruit and some viney tannins. Lots of dark cherries and spice with high alcohol content, a long finish and great tannins. This wine actually would be great with some aging so it can mellow out and open up.

Great to see good quality Pinot Noir in an unusual format! This can came in handy at the hospital where I enjoyed with my troubled friend. We were able to escape reality with the hospital staff none the wiser. Red fruits, soft tannins, elegant structure, and easily quaffed straight from the can.
