Fullerton Three Otters Pinot Noir 2015 Review
This wine is everything a Pinot under $25 should be: light, vibrant, fragrant, and palatable. Aromas and flavors include freshly picked Bing cherries and a hint of black licorice. The body is light, and the finish is crisp and long. If you like big, ripe, brooding Pinots, this is not what you’re looking for. If you like vibrant, elegant wines that overdeliver for their price, look no further. This wine is happy, fun, and relaxed – and will show well if slightly chilled.
