Kenwood Vineyards Pinot Noir 2016 Review

This is not so much about complexity as it is about checking boxes. There is some balance here with a bitter fruit (dried cherries?) And tannin tinge that allows for a decent party wine. The palate is soft and homogeneous enough that it will be a great social lube at the next soiree.
