Indigo Hills California Pinot Noir 2001

Price: $9
Type: Pinot Noir
Cork: natural cork with name printed on side
Rating: 6

This isn't a bad wine, but it's not terribly impressive, either. I find it both watery and boring on the tongue. The mild scent is equally uninspiring. Again, it's not bad, it's just not exceptional. I've paid a lot more for a lot worse at restaurants.

On the other hand, a new wine drinker might like it. It takes awhile to develop a taste for red wines. If you know someone who still cringes at the sight of reds, this one is mild and inoffensive enough that it might be a good gateway wine to darker reds. It's not too bitter, not too sweet, not too tannic - well, it's not too anything. It just is.
