Trader joes/$7 btl. Very clear almost like a Rose and had SOME Pinot Noir characteristics. It's a cheap summertime "weekday red" and I'd buy it again as a value wine — 10 years ago

Really enjoyed this. Nice fruit on the front (strawberry?) but not sweet at all. Definitely opened up over 30 to 45 minutes. — 10 years ago

A nice surprise at Trader Joes for just $11. Has good fruit on the front but a deeper color like a Zin. Hard to find good PR's for less than $20/btl but a good value and decent entry level Pinot Noir — 10 years ago

Trader Joes/$7 btl. Has a very deep color and tastes more like a blend than a Pinot. That said, will buy again as a good value wine — 10 years ago

It's another $11/btl at Trader Joes... Pleasant on the tongue but the finish is almost sour which makes it average. — 10 years ago

$16 @ TWS
Pleasant on the nose and a fruit scent. Deeper in color than a Pinot Noir, but is quite similar on the tongue but finishes drier. Label just says red wine, so blend ratio isn't known. Nice! Will buy it again for sure
