Since we like their sparklers, we decided to give this PN a taste. Very transparent light red, correctly predicting a somewhat dilute wine. Good varietal nose, with some barnyard, but a bit muted. The wine was varietally correct, but tasted a bit thin. Some nice strawberrry tartness on the finish, redeeming it somewhat. Decanted. There is no alc. % on the bottle, and I even passed it to Anne to look -- she couldn't find one either. Paid $25 for it. I likely wouldn't have been as lukewarm about it if it was a $12 Oregon PN from a so-so year, which is what it tasted like. I'm glad I tried it, but I'll stick to their sparklers for now. The evening improved afterwards when we popped a Freisa by Bonny Doon, which I posted on today.
