Root 1 Pinot Noir 2017 Review

It is ripe, and round ,and lean. It is $11 and ready to go. No complexity here, just big ol' black fruit combined with vanilla and cedar from a significant amount of oak. Let’s hit the tiles with a glass of this Pinot in hand and concentrate on dance moves instead of the wine, then carry it over to chat with friends. Is it summer? Then let’s put a chill on it and get down Lionel Richie style. It's a great party companion and footloose aid.
