Very light red. Decanted (minimal sediment) 1 hour, then chilled. Nose with some cherry and red fruit, mineral. Thin on the palate with short finish. Cranberry and cherry on palate. Actually worked ok slightly chilled (no oak or tannins) with a pasta with fresh tomatoes.

Cranberry juice. No nose to speak of, a slight taste of tart cherry, thin to near watery as others have noted. Only redeeming value is the length of the single note. Very disappointed in Full Pull on this one, though perhaps not a surprise given the price point. Smoke or give em away if you got em.

Seemed a bit austere to me, but it was enjoyable. Wasn't easy to adjust to after some big Italian wines. Still drinking well and has some time left in it.

56F PnP pale red thin and tart. cherry on the nose. lots of acid and moderate tannins for how light it is. clean finish. best with food and maybe after a couple of other bottles... No bargain here.

Thin and under whelming, almost water like, tart cherry on the palate, nose seems to fade after some time in the glass. Find it hard to believe this is Village level wine.

somewhat thin and acidic but a decent food wine and pleasant to drink, a nice change of pace

Drinks more like a Bourgogne than a village-level. Still, it was very tasty and excellent quaffer. Very light, scents of cherry and stone. Cranberry and acid on the palate, but exactly as it was meant to be. If you enjoy the lighter Pinots that taste of Cranberry & cherry with lots of acid, this is one to try.

Pale red with a tart cherry palate, wine seemed flat even for the price, and lacked even marginal complexity. Gassed it and will try again tomorrow. Well, tried it the second day and it wasn't any better.

Pale ruby, fragrant bitter cherry/raspberry nose, minerally, mellow attack, perhaps a bit flat, overall solid and pretty nice. Shows a good amount of complexity for a mid-priced Mercurey.
