Tried this one after seeing it in a flier and thinking the label looked neat. Well, the label is interesting, but the content is boring. A single note wine, smells of cherry, and a little bit of a cherry flavour. This is not a particularly dry wine, and quite light on body, very light considering the deep color, characteristic of a pinot noir. It's actually better cold than warm, as There isn't much to say about it; it's not a terrible wine, but not a particularly good one, for a couple dollars more, there are other wines I'd much rather drink.
