This is post number 500. Somehow. I guess it's an arbitrary mile stone, dictated by human tendencies, and doesn't mean shit. Picked this up at Costco for $19 in a completely compulsive fashion. Tasted like Pinot, frankly, with a slightly New World bent (meaning that it felt more on the side of thick than on the side of austere and lean). Cinnamon, orange peel, some vanilla and baking spice, berries, ample acidity, subtle tannins and a suggestion of black tea on the finish. Frankly, this kind of smelled like Christmas. A tasty offering, with good balance. A pretty good deal, even though for $19 you can get a lot of pretty good wines. I guess that doesn't really apply to Pinot. B+/A-
