Absolutely see-through and a very pale shade of red. The nose gives me bing cherry, wild strawberry and clove.  The palate is quite intriguing.  A muted red fruit presence with a touch of cinnamon and mushroom. Raspberries represent on the mid palate alongside rooibos tea and sour cherry.  The acidity slides in nicely, not overdone nor abrupt.  It’s a nice mouthfeel with a touch of heat on the finish.  There is a cedar component as well that I’m enjoying.  Overall it’s a decent Pinot that I’m giving 89 points.  4 stars for this $16 effort.  Salut….

See through pale purple with nice legs in the glass.  The nose is all about strawberries.  After a good swirl there’s violets and some yellow cherries.  On the palate it’s a very smooth rendition of strawberry meets cherry cobbler.  A touch of oak is a nice nuance.  The mid palate continues the theme and some acidity kicks in.  There’s a nice mouthfeel to this wine that carries it on to a decent length finish .  I’m digging it and the beercan chicken is gonna pair beautifully.  90 points.  Drink till 2026.  This wine gets 3 stars for its $40 average price.  Salut….

Super pale, with virtually no opacity.  The nose is neither old- nor new-world.  A mix between the two.  Classic cherry with the addition of strawberry coulis.  A hint of rose water hits me right at the end.  On the palate this wine is super smooth, with a great mouthfeel.  Tannins are just present, the acidity is finite and balancing.  The cherry flavors give way to roasted coffee and vanilla bean.  The mid palate is lush with ripe black cherries with a tannic thrust.  The fruit really comes out on the finish alongside a charred oak note.  It is intriguing, delicious and nice to drink.  I am pairing it with cherry glazed pork chops and roasted potatoes.  It would do a roasted Cornish Hen justice IMHO.  Great Fall wine to go and seek out.  91 points and 4 stars for this $40 wine.  Salut….
