Easy drinking Pinot. Slight pepper notes to finish.

Was really excited to try this one. Unfortunately I didn't love it. It was good. Would I rush out to buy it again? No. But I'm glad I tried it.

Rating is for the 2023 vintage bought at TJ’s. A Pinot from Santa Lucia Highlands (Monterey County) tends to be in the style of a French Burgundy, so it is not very fruit forward. Don’t expect all sorts of fruit flavors. Instead expect a well balanced medium body wine that will compliment your meal. I’ve always been found of SLH Pinots. Although the Upper Eden is not an all time favorite, it was very enjoyable and a good price at around $15.

Light, not a ton of flavor, but very drinkable and pleasing. A solid any time choice.

Meh. Not offensively bad but definitely lacking complexity.

A solid Trader Joe's find. Easy to drink, if a bit bland.

Easy to drink, flavorful for a Pinot and soft tannins.
