April 2, 2015 - 13.1% alcohol. Nice to let this rest for a couple years and see how it develops. At the price, it's so attractive to just drink immediately. But this is a good reminder that, even at this price, it's a wine worth letting unwind for a few years. Light cherry color. Uncomplicated but delicious. Pure black cherry and plum fruit, with good remaining acidity that brightens up the earthy spice notes. Solidly persistent finish. Really enjoyable. A-
November 20, 2014 - Ruby in color. Grass, strawberries and cherries on nose. Light in body with nice roundness. Strawberry, cherries, a little earth. Medium finish
September 26, 2013 - It's...fine. Refreshing style; light and bright. Nice balance of fruit and earth. Problem 1: the finish is clipped, green, and harsh. Problem 2: it's Siduri, so it's going to sell for SRP, or in my case, a bit higher. The modest amount of fruit is really very pretty, but it's a touch acrid and incomplete. Buy, but on sale.
September 21, 2013 - A decent varietally correct Pinot that loses its bright fruit pretty quickly with some air time. Not a great value, but not terrible either.
February 15, 2013 - 13.1% alcohol. Bright red cherry color. Pretty nose of red cherry, light black cherry, and spice. In the mouth, laser-like and pure, with terrific and beautiful tart cherry fruit. Brightly acidic and a smooth finish. This is such a pretty wine. Amazing value for this expression. A-
