Sour, highly acidic, doesn't really show that well for the region. Very single demensional although it does have lots of berry notes. Nose is better than the taste.

this is an inexpensive wine that's enjoyable if allowed to breathe for at least 15 minutes before drinking. you're not going to impress anybody with it, but it's fine for those situations where you don't ask your wine to impress anybody. i sometimes like to drink a bottle of wine while i watch a movie alone at home, for example, and - again, provided it's allowed sufficient time to breathe - this is fine for that. likewise relaxed dinners or other relaxing times with my girlfriend when we want wine and neither of us is feeling too picky about the specifics. just don't forget to let it breathe, because if you do (forget, i mean), you'll probably find nothing to recommend this wine at all. did i mention that it needs to breathe?

A pretty little tart, offering up cheap sex in a bottle. I like it, and the 12.5% alc. looks to be correct. Not made for the long haul but just the same this offers up the 2008 Burgundy bounty quite nicely. If you've never had Burgundy and you're thinking of trying one, this is a great out of the gate experience and widely available.

Smells delicious and sweet. Dry but smooth. Subtle taste, the only comparison I can think of is honey and milk. Very pleasing to drink, even if you do not drink wine regularly, you would enjoy this.

Not worth $20. Still, not a bad wine. Very old-world old-school. Thin, dry, and woody. For 3e out of a carafe in an out-of-the-way cafe, this would hit the spot.

This wine was opened and serially tasted over the ensuing two hours (without decanting). Light ruby robe. Moderately intense nose of cherries, coriander and dust. Light-bodied on the palate, with medium-to-high acidity, light tannins and cherry-dominated flavors. The middle palate thins a bit and the medium-length back end becomes quite tart. This is simple, serviceable Pinot at a very low price. Don't expect great things in this price range and you will not be disappointed. Drink now-12/13.

some light red fruit aromas, light on the palate, earthy, cranberry, cherry and mineral, upfront acid profile, nice, non-commited red to start the night off with appetizers

Thin, acidic, a little sour. It did improve a little with time, and was ok with food.

Seemed weak. Almost watery. Not what we had previously experienced.

Good acidity. Decent food wine. But not much else going on here. No major faults but overall, not very impressed.

Not a very good Pinot Noir. Poor finish. The Beaujolais was better. Don't buy this one again.

Shame on Costco for stocking this garbage. It's stuff like this that gives less expensive French wine such a bad rap in the US.

Nice nose but a little flat and spare. Only a hint of burgundy signature. Better on day two.

Aucune surprise ici. Vin de soif dans un condo sur le bord de la plage; très générique mais fait le travail.

Mediocre with no big flaws. Round and a bit woody, but also some berries. Worth 10 euros.

Synygy Wine Tasting Club - Pinot Noirs (Turbine Hall, Chester PA): earthy strawberry -- after some new world pinot this stood out as different and more restrained. decent value for the money.
