  December 21, 2017 - Agree with Galloni review. Soft, sweet, dark cherry pinot with decent body and spice that is easy to drink. A fine every day wine that isn't too serious but clearly better than the typical under $15 bottle.

  February 4, 2016 - Dark red color with bricking around the edges. Typical RRV aromas, spice, red fruit, earth. The palate is very spicy, cherry, cola, earthy. Good, but not great.

  June 29, 2014 - Dark cherry in color with bricking around the edges, this wine showed sexy aromas of blackberry, cola and asian spices. The mouth feel brought tastes of smoke, anise and black cherry, framed in the soft tannins and sweet acidity. The finish was medium/long in length with a nice combination of the fruit, acidity and tannins.
  
  Purchased for $28.50US, this is a very enjoyable, somewhat fuller bodied RRV pinot from an outstanding producer.

  August 12, 2013 - This is a slightly stereotypical but quite enjoyable Sonoma PN. The nose features bushels of bright cherry and plenty of spice. The flavors also start with juicy bright cherry with additional cherry on the midpalate, ending with still more red cherry but adding some spice. Medium acidity and light tannins make for a medium-length finish. No one would ever guess this is anything but a California pinot noir, though given that it definitely has an enjoyable deliciousness & I wish I had more than one bottle.

  August 1, 2013 - Seems to have knitted together quite a bit since I tasted last (12/28/2012), and the fruit/acid imbalance doesn't seem so obvious. That apart my previous notes apply. Not bad, but not great either.
