Wine critic review: This is a light, jewel red colored wine with gads of ripe red fruit on the nose. The aromas are primarily cherry and red plum, but there’s also a Diet Coke characteristic to the nose. The palate is fresh and fruity with ripe cherry and pomegranate flavors. The tannins are a little too light, in my opinion, but the acidity is good. The finish, short. Very short. But, if fresh and fruity is what you like, then you may enjoy this pinot noir. It doesn't have the depth or elegance to make it a rock star, but for the $9.00 price it’s a tasty wine.
My review: I'm not mad that I spent money on this wine, but I don't know that I would buy it again. The taste was a little too bitter for me and I wasn't a big fan of the finish. The aromas were pretty pleasant and smelled of plum with a more bitter smell on the nose. I didn't pair it with food so maybe I would have liked it better if I had, but I don't think I'll give it another try.
