Had this wine with dinner tonight. I opened the bottle and decanted for 1 hr. It had a nice ruby color. Very nice aromas - similar to a strawberry field during harvest (leaves, ripe fruit, a bit of vanilla and dirt). Good tart cherry, strawberry and raspberry flavors. Not too dry in the mouth but the tannins + oak are evident. A bit thin on the finish. An overall smooth drinking wine that went well with salmon and spinach / noodle salad. Paid $15 at BevMo.

Side note: Pinot noir wines are high in the antioxidant - resveratrol. This is a very good compound for fighting cancer and infections. Also, a glass or two of wine each day is very good for your heart.
