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: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Tasting note:

Mocha-dark-chocolate rich with fleshy cherries and berries. Smooth, supple, and medium-bodied. Lovely sipping wine that will take you through an entire evening.

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:
Malcolm Lamont rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Inky dark in colour. Decent character, and NOT a simple wine making it good value at $12.95. Candied fruit turning into jammy red fruit on the nose, with smokey oak coming through as well. Definitely full on the palate for a Pinot Noir, and a nice wine. Looking forward to having it at my sister's wedding this summer!!
Travis Oke rated this wine as 80/100 with the following review:

This smells too sweet from the very beginning. Lot's of cooked berries, almost jam (hee hee I almost typed ham). Maybe I needed a better food pairing like a roasted chicken?
I wish George would just stay home in Beaujolais and make great wines from Gamay grapes - I would be happy with that.
