Pale ruby colored fading to a platinum rim, with medium viscosity (13% ABV). The nose of this Pinot Noir has medium intensity aromas of forest floor, cranberry, white strawberry, pomegranate, vanilla, baking spices, and a green stalk note. The palate is dry with medium (+) acidity, a light body, and low tannins that make for a very gentle and caressing mouthfeel. The flavors are of medium (-) intensity and echo the nose particularly with the red fruit notes. It’s not as earthy on the palate and the green notes are very feint. The finish is a slightly tart affair that is medium in length and refreshing. It’s a crisp red that is pleasing without being overly complex, a good weekday drop. For $23 it’s a pretty decent bottle that gets 89 points from me and 3 stars. Drink till 2027 with lighter meats, salmon or poultry. Salut….
