100 Point Rating Guide

96-100 Extraordinary A wine of finesse, complexity, and expression. True to variety and region. Perfect balance of flavors with a long finish.
90-95 Excellent True to variety and region, with terrific complexity and balance. While not a wine for the ages, a superior example.
85-89 Good Meets your expectations, with sound flavors and balance. Might have limited complexity or be short on the palate. A sound wine.
80-84 Average Drinkable, might not have as much varietal character. Simple flavors, no flaws, but nothing special.
75-79 Below Average Might contain one flaw, simple straight-forward flavors, off-balance, unpleasant.
60-74 Undrinkable, Flawed Contains significant flaws. Unpleasant, not commercially acceptable.

Spicey dried cherries and faint funkness of leather. Forest floor and all that B.S., it's hard to describe but the nose is definitely pinot. Clean and for the money and a winner. Some 5-spice -- watery but, still some soft tannins and nice balance. Notes of black licorice on the finish. Probably the best pinot i've had for $12.99.
