Although there is some real intriguing earthy, meaty and fruity flavours and scents, the wine falls short on the finish...too bad, a long finish goes a long way in my books. However the silkiness of this wine helps to win you over, ever so slightly. In the end it's enjoyable, and for $15 bucks, I'd call that a great value...would I purchase again? ...sure. Good luck finding Pinot this flavourful at this price point.
