MacRostie Pinot Noir 2016 Review
If the price of this wine was cut in half, it would be a decent deal. The alcohol is high and overwhelms the aromas outside of vanilla and cherry cola. The acidity is nice, making the wine easy enough to sip, but the heat will sit with you long after the first taste.
