From the first whiff right through the finish, there is no doubt that this is pinot noir. Cranberry/rhubarb flavours with some earthy and smoky notes. Good complexity and length of finish. Remarkably good pinot for $14. I can only chalk up DL and JS tasting notes to bottle variation as I don't tasted any of what they don't like about the wine. Good rec by ST. Tasted April 2016.
Better typicity, length, and complexity than bicicleta. My sample had none of the sourness noted in other reviews. Body is light and the wine rounds out with a slight chill.
