Very pale light cherry in color, this pinot lacks some interest. It is a light-medium bodied wine with flavors of earth, cranberries, along with a pretty decent balance of acidity and tannins. All of these flavors are very one-dimensional and kind of flabby. At about $12, we're going to give this a pass! There are much better values out there. The search continues for an under $15 Pinot Noir! Any recommendations?

Try the 2008 Chilensis Reserva Pinot Noir, Chile. Wild price ranges $9 to $15. Used 1/2 bottle to make Couqu au Vin, drank rest, and wished for more.
Stood up very well in the dish, as well as in the glass! Try some.
Cheers!
