The color of the Bien Nacido Pinot Noir is a vibrant translucent cherry red with a nose brimming with classic Pinot flavors of wild strawberry and forest floor, with a supple texture and long finish.

Started out like a dead ringer Burgundy. Won't be a long term keeper but drinking well. Green all the way through with a well structured acidic finish. 2 hours in it started to go flat.

Liked it. Pencil lead, does not seem like a pinot at first, almost like a sweet merlot and then the pinot shows itself.
