Nice purity of bright red fruit on the nose with subtle blue fruit, spice and earth notes keeping it interesting, palate has delicious fruit, silky mouth feel with zippy acidity keeping all the components fresh throughout

Wonderfully robust on the nose with notes of cranberries, earth. Cherry and rhubarb palate is dynamic silky smooth with expressive fruit and a solid finish

Bright red fruits on the nose - mostly strawberry, cranberry and cherry with hints of baking spice and oak. Smells great. Very smooth initially and gaining weight across the midpalate with tannins tightening up in the finish. It's very youthful with a rigid enough structure to reward laying down for a few years, but totally delicious and drinking fine now.

Tasted at a vegan restaurant in Chicago: Ripe strawberry and baking spice, maybe some rhubarb. Light, with good acidity, capable of a variety of food pairings. Great QPR.

A lighter style for everyday, current-release drinking, well-balanced with lots going on in the nose, lots of black fruits but brightly-presented. Very satisfying.

Light and low alcohol content. Bright pineapple. A little grassy. Will be great slightly chilled in the summer.

Not sure I agree it is only for unsophisticates but it is light and not especially complex in any way. Very fruity, noticeable cherries, on the nose. When you have a craving for a Pinot, pop this open and enjoy.

On the nose you find smoke, ripe black cherry, pomegranate and a hint of pepper. The fruit flavors come flooding at you upon first taste and you find cherry, raspberry and strawberry with a bit of spice and clove. Very nice, easy to drink pinot noir!

Enjoyed the cherry notes. This was one the GF could enjoy (she sticks to whites).
