What a wonderful Pinot for $22! Slightly darker than most and displaying the earthy side of Pinot, I found this wine to be very well balanced and complex. Flavors of chocolate covered cherries tease you while enjoying the mushroom, earth, and dark spice flavors that make this wine a winner that finishes long. 13% Alc/vol.

Thanks Drew!
I'm a bit goofy, but will definately give this wine a double-double!

Good Pinot tends to be expensive and many moderately priced ones are cloyingly "candied" sweet to me. This one was balanced and rich with good earthy flavors that matched nicely with Jamaican Jerk chicken!
