2018 Blank Canvas California Pinot Noir

13.8% alc., $12.84 (Kroger supermarket). Vinted and bottled by American Wine Cellars, Napa, CA. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Aromas of cherry vanilla Coke lead off. Aims to please in a modest way with mid-weight flavors of red cherry and berry backed by good acidity and tame tannins. Short on the finish, with a compliment of oak in the background. Score: 87.
