What reviewers say
“Light ruby color and dominant cherry, raspberry, cranberry aromas with clove, coke, brown sugar, white flower, and mushroom. It feels like fresh redberry juice cause of its lightness, abundant berry notes, and residue sweetness from powerful fruity notes.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
The nose is really pretty – lots of floral, chocolate, cherry cola, with a hint of pears and caramel. It has a dusty, earthy aroma that keeps you interested long after your glass is empty. The gorgeous aromas are echoed on the palate. The texture is super smooth, soft, and balanced. Not too much acid or tannin.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Bread & Butter Pinot Noir lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · United States (1,156 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 22,944.
