Mark West Pinot Noir 2003

The Mark West is an easy-drinking, versatile wine that can be enjoyed alone or with food, making this a frequent guest upon our wine rack.

The flavours of cherry abound, tempered by aging in oak and soft tannins. There's a complex edge to this fun wine, hints of chocolate, leather and 'umami'. And since it's in the $10 range, inexpensive enough to be considered fantastic 'vin ordinaire'.
