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:

A simple, tasty red with sour cherry notes and a smooth, medium body. Good quaff for pizza night. Food matches: chicken in tomato and olive braise.

John rated this wine as 60/100 with the following review:

Starts off smooth and nice but leaves an unpleasant (to me) after-taste.
Displaying fresh fruit aromas and flavours of cherries, strawberries and red currants, our 2008 Mirassou California Pinot Noir is a bright reflections of our heritage as the pioneer of California Pinot Noir. This wine is at its best if enjoyed within a year of release, but can age in the bottle for up to three years if carefully cellared.
