Four Vines Pinot Noir The Maverick 2018

Maverick opens with bright aromas of raspberry, cranberry and hibiscus. Silky smooth and juicy on the palate, the wine offers a lingering finish of red fruit and subtle cherry cola hints. This Maverick is vibrant and expressive with elegant flavors and crisp acidity.

It's hard to find a worthy Pinot Noir for less than $25, but here's a winner. Hearty aromas of dark cherry and gingerbread lead into a spicy palate of bay leaf, ripe strawberry and fresh blackberry jam. A chalky texture rises into the finish.
