Dellicious, as always. Lots of cherries and cassis. Ready to drink upon opening ( or soon thereafter). Should still be good for a few more years (longer than it'll last in my cellar). And always a good buy. (5529 views)

An easy drinking pinot. Very smooth flavors of black cherry and a little spice with very mild tannins. Would go well with pork loin. ($15) (5536 views)

I love the wine. I call it the Pinot w/ balls! All the purists can complain('tho there's nothing to support it being a blend) but I like it! No barnyard, no merde, no earthy funk, nice red fruit and balanced. (2411 views)

Not going to list sensory analysis. Poor score is only because I hate when wineries blend Syrah into Pinot Noir. I hope this practice stops, or if it continues, only happens in the under $10 class. I'm sure some people will enjoy this wine, but I feel conned. Please don't call it Pinot if the blend takes it from something characteristic of Pinot to something far different. I don't know what this wine is comprised of and what the percentage blends are, but my guess is up to 10% Syrah. If this wine is 100% Pinot, it's just not my style. It's for lovers of heavily extracted bigger wines not lithe Pinots with finesse nor great Burgundies. (2402 views)

Wine info says 100% Pinot Noir, so now I'm adding sensory analysis. Big aromas of strawberry, a little herbaceous (clove?). Explosive fruit on the palette, some raspberry. Heavier yet smooth mouthfeel as described above. 25 second finish. Very, very big fruit and some spice. Again, many folks will really enjoy this. 50 + 5 + 11 + 16 + 6 = 88. (2417 views)

Had all of the components to show it was from SLH, but was a bit hot on the finish. Solid food wine, and at $15 from PLCB I may pick up a few more for summer grilling. (2604 views)

OK. Pretty heavy and dark for a pinot. I liked the subtle black liquorish flavor though. (2468 views)

Medium bodied and ruby in color. The nose hits you like a field of strawberry flowers - very nice and a sign of good things to come. On the palate more strawberries and cherries with a portion of violets and a background of pepper spice. Nice balance. A very nice value at $15 here is PA. (1615 views)
