Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve 2012 Pinot Noir

It's been 3 years

 and six vintages ago

 that I tasted my first Kendall-Jackson

 Vintner's Reserve Pinot Noir Red Wine, and

I make a curious observation: I paid less this time around!

Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve 2012 Pinot Noir, $13.59-$18.99, 88 points, appeared bright ruby trending cranberry red with a clear rim.

Aromas of red raspberry, toasty red cherry, and licorice were good.

Medium-bodied with good acidity and mild tannin carried pleasant flavors of red fruits and cola notes.

Finished fair on the trailing palate, spice, a well integrated 13.5% alcohol, and a hint of spearmint.
