The more I examine the universe and study the details of its architecture, the more evidence I find that the universe in some sense must have known we were coming.

Color/Aroma:

Light purple, hint of raisin

Palate:

Complex mix of fruit, hint of smoke

Currants & hint of chocolate

Overall:

This is a delightful, light pinot. Visually it looks very light, but it's palate surprises with a complex blend of fruit, smokiness and some spice. I don't know what it costs, as it was given as a gift, but I would buy a few bottles if I could find them locally. It's imminently drinkable with or without food.
