This lacks a bit in the flavour department, making it sour and acidic. The mid palate is quote smooth and there are hints of sweet waxy cherries....mmm how about this gets an E for Effort. I'd be impressed if this wine cost $12, but at $22 I can't say i'd purchase this again or recommend it. I don't think it's as bad a s John thinks, but definitely not the greatest. It actually reminds me of cheap Niagara Pinot.
