The Winery: Estancia
The Wine: 2006 Pinot Noir
The Price: On sale for $10.99 at QFC. The regular price is $14.99.
Estancia Winery is located in Monterey County, California. The winery was built on a former Paul Mason property.
The 2006 Pinot Noir is a deep red color, typical of Pinot Noir. This wine has scents of plums and currants. The wine is okay. It's not great. It's not bad. Mostly it is bland and unimpressive. The flavor is poorly developed and lacks character. The wine has flavors of plum and cherry, with a very mild pepper finish. This wine reminds me of why I try to avoid finding bargain Pinot Noirs. It is so rare to find a very good sub-$20 Pinot Noir.
