The fruit is really hiding in this one. Leathery. Rocky. Will revisit later tonight.

I bought this cheap to splash into some braised short rib. Of course, I'll have more than the beef will.
It's good. Dusty and plenty of garrigue. Will pair well with the short rib if I can wait that long.

Unpopular opinion: I like this. I liked it 10 years ago, then I didn't like it when they sold, and now I like it again. Really pleasant raspberry, strawberry, slightly floral, and zero oak. Before they sold it was $16 now it's $23.
And I've just about had it with Delectable

Such a deep purple. The cork stained the heck out of my hand.
Delicious dark fruit and meaty. Structured to lay down for several years.

I bought this cheap to sauté some shrimp. It's not a typical PG. Softer edges, predominantly pear and lemon flavors. Green apple on the finish. It's good, just not as crisp as I had hoped.

Was given this bottle to sample. I'm not sure why Sydney wants my opinion, because I'm still a wine rookie.
But, I can say it's good enough. Nice, lush texture, big on dark berries, chalky tannic finish. This would be fine with a marbled steak.

This is an oddball. It's got some nice fruit, light body, kind of like an American PN, but there's something awkward on the back end. It's like Fruit Stripe chewing gum or... I don't know. It's fine, I'm not sure what food this would complement.

Nice and crunchy. Berries, clay, firm tannins.

I've had this once before. Interesting expression of Pinot Noir. Simple raspberry and strawberry flavors pinned down under oak and some tongue-tingling element.

Young and lively. Strawberry fields forever. A bit of florals, a bit of stone. Nicely balanced.
