Purple. Really nice fruit, red cherry, good length and balance. Previous experience with this was from Foley , nicely made. Different.

A light touch here. Served blind, I guessed Oregon. Light ruby. Rhubarb and brown sugar aromas (nice). Lithe, spacious entry. Red sweet tart, with rhubarb mid palate and a tangy, spicy finish. Fine acids. This is in a good place. Good at any price, but the price makes this an easy recommendation. 88

Gorgeous creature. Kenny really knows hhis craft. This simple yet substantial Pinot has it all. For the price (I can't remember exactly at the moment) this is a super value Pinot. I'll bet it ages we'll too but the bonus here is that no aging is necessary. Drink up.

Smooth, fresh cherry flavors with the elegant, wispy texture I love in pinot. Great value for the price.

yes, definitely a less extracted approach. still does a juicy watermelon aroma. Watermelon candy. at pop and pour doesn't seem too earth, or brown sugar. a more finger-lakes-y take. hints at lean cinnamon to the nose, perhaps this will make way for some earthiness. On the palate, med/+, if not high acid. but with all this acid, the palate is still SO smooth. Glides. guzzle-able.

PnP. Very Light clear cherry red to the eye. Medium nose of light fruit-watermelon? (Will check next time.) and wet stones/minerals. These are joined by light raspberry and light cola flavors on the palate. Medium++ acidity leads to a medium length saline -like finish of more rocks. Overall a great glugable wine. Been a fan of Kenny's since trying his Grenache - Cassia I think. This is similar in its balance, lithe ness but has a bit more fruit and cola expression...but not enough to overpower like some Cali Pinot.

Tropical, fruit driven nose with a weighter palate, tastes almost like hint of mustard seed, which I kinda like. Long, long finish. So serious, the label doesn't match the juice. Oh well.

moderate depth of color, rubyish rim. aromatically a bit restrained with strawberry, kirsch... some background dark fruits... i didn't pick up any oak on this wine... on the palate it has moderate acidity, moderate midpalate weight, a moderate amount of moderately ripe tannins... low to moderate alcohol. balanced wine, short length, ok intensity, average complexity. wine has so so finesse, a slightly coarse texture... ok expression of place. this was a good bottle of wine... perfectly serviceable and a decent NW blend... drink now.

ruby rim showing minimal extraction, very low depth of color. aromatically simple fresh cherry aromas... no detectable new oak, some background minerality, no cola or sap. on the palate high acidity, moderate pinot flesh on the midpalate, low amount of moderately ripe tannnins, low alcohol. Very well balanced wine, short length, good intensity, ok complexity. Nice finesse, fine texture, good expression of place. this is a great wine for what it is... clean and subtle cali pinot fruit, nice balance, very drinkable, fair price.

Violet/ruby color. Tons of berries and citrus on the nose, notably strawberry and cherry with a hint of vanilla. Fruit forward on the palate. Light/medium body and medium finish.

The aromas of cardamom made way to higher-toned fruit. The dry flavors of red and black fruit leaned towards brighter black fruit in the finish. The wine picked up notes of old polished wood and cardamom before leaving dry tannins on the gums and spicy flavors in the back of the throat.

The nose was deep with aromas of fresh black berries and generally high quality fruit. In the mouth were slightly racy and creamy flavors of dense black fruit and ripe, pink grapefruit. There seemed to be a hint of wood or stems in the finish. In the end this had good fruit and flavor making it a very satisfying drink!

Opened one hour in advance. Aromas of red fruit and black pepper. Flavors of tart boysenberry, minerals, spice. Some lemon and vanilla in the tart, full finish.

Cut from the same cloth as Texier (France) and Edmunds St. John (California), this is a balanced, interesting, well structured wine made in the style of a relatively restrained Cotes du Rhone Villages . It's a great QPR no matter who you compare it to, but by California standards it's an outstanding value.

Tart and aromatic pinot fruit on the nose, maybe with a touch of barrel. Smells great. Leaner on the palate than I was expecting, with slightly high alcohol, not really felt except as a very slight drying effect. A little barrel, again, and the balance is wonky, but overall it's fun to drink.
