3 Badge Enology 'Leese-Fitch' Pinot Noir 2016 Review
It’s thin and lean with not too much going on, save for some classic cherry and some oak-influenced vanilla. It struggles to show any complexity. This wine is not about complexity though, but fun. Fun as in, this is the wine you chill down in the summer and chug or add it to a sangria recipe.
