Not much nose, but strong bold flavor exploding on the entire tongue -- fruity, zesty red. Could be its own dish -- that robust. Explodes and kind of sinks down ... like fire works and the after-ash settling down. Aftertaste is constant and stays in a pleasant way. Love it! — 8 years ago

Love the $7 price. Bursting red blend with drier finish. Nice red fruit. Acidity cuts through a rich meaty dinner well. — 8 years ago

This may be my favorite wine for cupcakes and chocolate. It starts like an opening night gala: bright excitement, anticipation, sweet indulgent velvety richness, progressing to a nice smooth even finish that lingers on the palate without overpowering the tongue and competing with your food. Tastes of cherries and raspberries and dark reds. Makes it perfect to pair with a decadent dessert! — 9 years ago

Little nose, seems like it would be acidic but dies down with a sweetness at end. Goes well with non-acidic flavorful dishes. — 8 years ago

Beautiful bouquet. Bright fruity and popping on the tongue. Has a thin watery finish that lightly sticks to the tongue and slowly dries up the taste buds at the long end. After that, barely any coating to the tongue... it just nearly disappears, leaving the tongue clear for more. Kind of a weird description, but the beginning pop makes the wine worth it for me. — 8 years ago

Unfortunately not my glass of wine... I'm wondering if I got a bad batch. Reminiscent of stale grape juice with a drying aftertaste. Hopefully will like my second glass better. — 9 years ago

Watery and lacking in any exciting fruity flavor. In fact, there is a hint of it behind the alcohol/acidity, but fleeting. Leaves a wet coating on the tongue and palate. Doesn't taste like Pinot... maybe more merlot. Needs more to it. — 8 years ago

Very easy to drink Pinot -- tastes almost like a blend. Non offensive, not too bold but hearty and medium body with a round flavor. A safe choice for any meal. Nice linger on the tongue with pleasant after-taste. — 8 years ago

Full robust and spicy flavor with lingering tail that rounds the tongue to the end. This red blend is a very easy drinkable wine. — 9 years ago
