joshparent's Review: The heat on this Pinot absolutely killed it, any semblance of flavor was torn out of my mouth by the alcohol.

joshparent's Review: quite possibly one of the worst Pinots I've ever had. I suspect it may have been slightly tainted, but it was really difficult to tell. If anyone else has had this I'd be interested in comparing notes

joshparent's Review: Hands down this is one of the boldest and most intriguing desert wines I've ever tasted. Very reminiscent of the Aszu wines from Tokaji. Hints of sweet apples and raisins. Spectacular.

SnoothRank: 2.5/5

joshparent's Rating: 2/5
joshparent's Review: This wine is tough to score. On the one hand it is not very good, but on the other hand, it's not unpleasant and it's only $3.99 (I'm not sure where Snooth gets their price).
I agree whole heartedly with aronowm2, this is "the best of the worst." Two Buck Chuck in a different bottle.
