$5 Pinot Noir
Pepperwood Grove
South East Australia 2006
Albertsons

This wine had a particularly brownish tone to it upon pouring. It had an astringent berry fragrance to it and thin, spindly legs. I was expecting an earthy taste because the color was so rich, but it actually had a light and fruity flavor. It is very smooth with a strong melon flavor which is quite nice for a red. There were also greenish flavors to it like green grapes, grass and tomatillos. This was a great wine for a great price!

I give this fruit-foward wine 4 out of 5 stars.
