Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: May 22, March 7, January 4 and December 16.

Tasting note:

Dark cherry with a smooth, medium- to full-bodied weight. Luscious and deeply satisfying. Food matches: Daube de Boeuf. Google a recipe. You'll love it.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
In Block 4 of our home vineyard, Pinot Noir grows particularly well. Almost too well. So we bunch-thin rigorously to intensify the flavours of the remaining fruit. In fact, we let as many grapes drop to the ground as we harvest each fall. We could make more wine from Block 4, but that wine would not be as good. All our winemaking decisions get the same attention to detail as Block 4 does. And the results show in every bottle. On that, you have our word.

Serve this wine between 60-65 degrees Farenheit or 15-18 degrees Celsius.
