Didn’t care for the notes of ginger. Wine was too light bodied for me. Nearly felt like it could have been carbonated.

Held too long in the cellar. Ripe fruits, no nuanced flavors. It wasnt wasted or offensive in a pan sauce with pork tenderloin.

The Chardonnay is bad and this might be worse. Sweet red fruits, a hollow palate and short finish. The perfect wine for those who slam their wine and don't taste it.

Good value for money, tastes good and a people pleasure which makes it ideal for large gatherings. Good balance of acidity and fruitiness. Taste pretty flat with not a lot of layering which is okay at this price point. Light bodied, notes of berries, and vanilla.

Solid on the mid-palate and medium in length on the back end, this is a pleasant Pinot that exhibits bright fruit with nice structure. For the price, …

Has all the characteristics we like in a Pinot. Fruit flavors without being jammy, pleasant finish, balanced tannins and acid. At $14, it’s an acceptable PQR for a very food friendly wine. Would buy a case if found for a better deal.
