Let’s talk about the general dichotomy between wine evaluated and wine appreciation. This wine, as a Pinot noir is way too high in alc. does not have the right structure and tannin level. I barely think of it as a Pinot and would never buy it.
However, objectively speaking, it is balanced with smooth and integrated tannins. It’s rich in attractive fruit. It’s highly drinkable. I’ll enjoy another glass.
